Fooling April

So I spent April Fool's Day up in West Jordan and was fooled in a way that I never thought. So, I was watching tv in my front room and I got a knock on the door. I answered it and was greeted by two little kids from down the street. They seemed really excited and told me that my car was in the middle of the street. I thought they were just yanking my chain, but sure enough I looked and my car was in the middle of the street. Now I live in a circle, so there was no immediate danger, but my car was blocking nearly the entire street. Apparently my clutch popped out and the parking brake couldn't hold the car on the slope so it rolled back into the street. The kids had been playing in my front yard and were freaked out because they saw my car rolling back with no one in it. I was kind of embarrassed, so I ran inside to give these two heroes some reese's peanut butter cups. As I was running out to give them the candy I slipped down my back stairs right in front of the kids. I couldn't do anything right. I gave them the candies though and returned to watch my lfietime original movie. I'm not even kidding, I watched a whole lifetime movie yesterday at home because nothing else was on. Oh well, I sure got fooled.

I bet those kids loved watching you slipped. Kids find nothing funnier than watching people fall and what not. then again, I find it funny too. Hopefully it didn't hurt too much. But I think the real pain is that you suffered through an entire lifetime movie.. joke was definitely on you.

Those kiddies didn't need tricks to reap treats (the slip incident being a bigger treat than the peanut butter cups, clearly). Also, apparently I'm confusing April Fools' Day with Halloween. Or they're just more closely related than we've previously recognized.
