april 1st
Happy April Fool's Day!! I always want to think of something fiendish or terribly witty but rarely do. The only time I ever did anything halfway good was when I was about ten or eleven. My father needed me always to be neat and tidy (don't ask) and, living in Greenwich Village, you could always find stores with cool goofy things. I'd found something that stuck a small piece of thread on the outside of whatever it was on, while really being a rolled-up ball of thread on the other side. I put it near the seam of the shoulder of my dark gray school uniform jacket and, sure enough, as we left the house that fateful April 1st to go to school, my father disapprovingly tsked at me and picked off the thread. And, sure enough, it seemed to be unraveling the seam and, sure enough, he was upset. Victory! He told me we'd have to go back and sew it because I couldn't go out of the house like this, etc., etc., except then I burst out laughing. A real hoot. Right.
So do you have a favorite April Fool's joke or prank?
