• my younger sister pulled an April Fool's trick on my mother

  
  

  my mother didn't think it was funny.

  
  

  everyone else thinks it to be hilarious. my mother LOVED to pull jokes on us as young, gullible children (c'mon, Wild horses running down the middle of the road? and we all fell for it? geeeze!)

  
  

  so, on April 1st, my little sister calls to tell my mother some "news" I'm not sure exactly how she couched all of this... but she ends up telling her that she and her b/f have been "intimate" or some shit like that. of course, in my mental reinactment, there are pained silences following that announcement. and, from telling her that she's been intimate, my sib leads right up into telling her that she is pregnant. Now, she's 20 years old and a sophmore in college, and her boyfriend is a freshie at a different college. so i'm quite sure my mother was....a little upset to say the least. but she keeps her cool (sort of) and keeps saying into the phone, attempting to be supportive: "it's all right, we'll talk about it in person when you get home this weekend..."

  
  

  after who knows how long of stringing my mother along, my sister then ends the suspense with "April Fool's!"

  
  

  i imagine my mother probably said some really bad words. but don't you think that's hysterical? i personally do - hah, and so does my father!
