April What?!

Yes, you may have heard that today was April Fool's Day.  A societal pseudo-holiday for those who like to lie, cheat and steal all in the name of fun.  I don't like it.  Not that you could tell, right?

Well, I don't "do" April Fool's Day.  I avoid it.  And I am such a mean mom that I don't play along with my kids over it either.  This year, that was good, since neither of them did anything remotely funny or trick-like.  Good thing.  Or I'd have to ground them both for 27 years.

Sing along with me, if you want:
"Every party has a pooper, that's why we invited you....party pooper!  Party Pooper!"

That doesn't even pretend to hurt my feelings.  I'd still rather have people tell met he truth, play by the rules, and not take things that don't belong to them.  I am just weird that way, I guess.

I think it can be fun. My team switched classes for the morning for April Fool's. It was so fun! One year, we switched the kids while they were sleeping so one woke up in the other's bed. We made spaghetti for breakfast and pancackes for dinner....it can be just simple fun.
