Thread Name: I was April Fooled
Subject: RE: I was April Fooled
I thought up a good one for my accountant and I tried it out on Nathan, my son first. I told Nathan I had to cash in a bunch of investments I had saved for his college to get an operation in May. He asked what kind. I said, "a sex change operation." He looked stricken and said "but why, mom?" I said, "I just don't feel like a woman. I feel like a man." He got panicked and said, "Mom, you're a woman, I know it. You're not a man!!!" I then said "April Fool!" He was mad all day....
I did it to my accountant and she kept her best nonjudgemental accountant face on and said "I wouldn't have thought it of you". What was going through her mind I later found out after I said "April Fool" was, How could I have misjudged her for all these years? How can I trust her to watch Samantha?,Oh well, I guess that wouldn't make any difference," and "Why do I attract these kinds of people????
