Anyways, being a GROWNUP and all, I decided this year it would be fun to just trick her a little to see what her reaction would be. I guess this is because I was so bored and had nothing better to do.
So I got out my cell phone, and sent a text to her that said. "So Um. . . . I'm prego mommy." I waited like thirty seconds and send a second one that said, "Gotcha, April Fools!" Nothing happens for five minutes. I am waiting by the phone for her and nothing.
All of a sudden my phone lights up and I answer to hear its mom IN TEARS about how excited she is to be a grandma and how I will make the best mom and how I found out and when I knew, and if I think it will look like me or brian. . . etc.
Right about now, I was looking for the nearest cliff to jump off, or the nearest window to jump out. I couldn't believe she BELIEVED ME!!!! Didn't she know what day it was!?!?!?! Here is our little conversation. . .
"Well mom, uh. . . Do you know what day it is?"
"No dear, should I? Is today a special day? Other than the fact that your expecting!?!?!?"
"Well mom, its the first day in April and well. . . . I. . . . . "
Silence
Silence
Silence
"Linds is there something you want to tell me? sniff sniff. . . "
"Uh, did you get my text mom?"
"Yes! I did, I was so excited I called you the minute I got out of my meeting!
"Yeah, about that. . . Did you get both of my texts?"
"I just looked. No, just the one."
"Hmm, well. . . .
sigh
"Well Mom, I am the most horrible person. I told you I was pregant as an april fools joke, and now I feel absolutely awful about it. I really do, I didn't mean to trick you. I swear I promise mom, I feel so bad."
"I see. . . sigh. . . So let me get this straight, You are NOT pregnant?"
"Clears throat. . . Um . . . No. I am not pregnant."
"Well ok then. I guess will talk to you later. . . Its too bad, I was really excited and now I just kind of feel let down :("
How do you top a disaster like that? I don't think you can. I have learned my lesson, I will never pull a prank like that again.
Ty rewarded me later by letting me believe he won Brit tickets on the radio, vip and that he was going to let me and court take them. I was so excited I couldn't believe it.
I guess I deserved it
Happy April. . .
I guess that is why they call it FOOLS day. . .
P.s. Don't rely on technology to deliver any message. Especially when you need it to most!
