This weekend was a laugh riot at our house.
Funny faces stuck to Daddy’s back. Green milk in my coffee. A six-year-old dressed up like an aardvark, complete with pointy paper claws taped to the end of each fingernail. (I’m not sure if the joke here was that we have an aardvark for a daughter or that — surprise — she’s not really an aardvark. Either way, it was funny.)
But here’s the thing. All of these jokes unwound on Saturday. Which was March 31st.
That’s right. Our whole family spent about two hours cuttin’ it up on the wrong day. By the time Sunday rolled around, we’d exhausted our creative depths and besides, nothing is as funny as celebrating April Fool’s Day in March.
Now what’s today again?
This is too funny. The kids must have had so much fun!
Yes, and I definately gained a new appreciation for April Fool’s Day. I’ve never been a big fan of practical jokes but this was funnnn-ee!
Dumb Joke, Wrong Day
further adventures on March 31st fool’s day…
On my way to run an errand, I came across elder y younger’s playmates coming for a playdate. “Sorry gals, the girls are sick with chicken pox. Can’t play today.” Crestfallen they stare at me. “April Fools! – they’re fine…just kidding…Ha,Ha,Ha.” No response.
“Today’s March 31st, Mr. Scanlon.” Thought bubble: “you big dummy.”
