Foolish

I'm going to ask you to think about all of the members of our family, and try to decide who you think is most likely to go all-out for April Fool's Day. Think hard.

I know what you're thinking, and you're wrong. Think again.

Nope, still not right. Think again.

OK - I'm just going to give it away - It's Luke. Yep, good old serious and thoughtful Luke. He got me, and he got his friends, over and over again. Here's a brief summary of what went down on April Fool's Day:

7:30 a.m.- Luke wakes up in the morning and I give him a bowl of cereal with a drop of green food coloring at the bottom. I tell him to pour his own milk, and when he does, it comes out green. Gotcha! Laughs all around.

Sometime around 8:00 a.m. - Luke switches the keyboard on my phone so the "y" and the "z" are reversed. I don't notice this until mid-morning when I am trying to text someone about "Yach." It requires the assistance of two different people to fix this. 

8:10 a.m. to 2:35 p.m. - Luke repeatedly pranks his friends, including, but not limited to: Offering them part of a cricket bar for snack and telling them it is a power bar; switching out items in their pencil boxes; leaving fake phone numbers in their pencil boxes; telling them his peanut butter and jelly sandwich is actually onion jam; and last but not least - bringing a change of clothes to school and completely changing his outfit mid-day (he went from wearing all all-neon outfit to dark colors).

3:00 p.m. - Luke and his friend come home from school; I offer to make them French fries. They're actually apples cut in sticks, baked and sprinkled with cinnamon. I serve them with raspberry jelly and even though Luke catches on right away, his friend is still clueless even after eating two "fries" - he's more concerned when he realizes the red stuff is not actually ketchup.

3:30 p.m. - Luke puts tortilla chips under the toilet seat so they crunch when I sit down. Boooo.

6:00 p.m. - Dave comes home and we offer him a cold glass of "beer," which is actually apple gelatin.

April 4, 8:00 a.m. - Luke, frustrated that I STILL haven't noticed his final prank, calls attention to the fact that all of the pictures on the mantel in our bedroom are upside down. I always take off my glasses in the bedroom so I hadn't even noticed. Bahahahaha! You got me, but I also kinda got you, kiddo.
