Me: Honey, you need to go look at something... on the back of the toilet upstairs...Curtis: What?? What's wrong?
Me: You need to go look now.
Curtis: walks quickly upstairs with a puzzled look.
Comes back down the stairs.
Curtis: Is that yours?
Me: yup
Curtis: Whose is it? ( He's thinking: whose CHILD is it)
Me: (I'm thinking the TEST) It's mine!!
Jonah: It's MINE!!! It's MINE!!!
Ha
Curtis: Are you serious.
Me: I can't believe it.
Awkward silence
Curtis: Well... if those are the cards we're dealt... I'm fine. Are you ok?
Me: (whispering) I'm totally ok... because... it's APRIL FOOLS DAY!!!!
(Should have cast me as a lead in Fiddler on the Roof back in '94 Mr. Jenkins, cuz I've got it!)
p.s. Thanks Annette for making this possible!!!

Ok...no doubt about it, she got me good. The work day was not a day for practical jokes, so totally had not even keyed into "April Fool's Day" yet today. However, a little clarification is needed...Beck's version makes it sound like I was laissez-faire about becoming a dad again. Not the case. I was more concerned about her reaction...was expecting to hear...it's your fault!! you did this to me!!! and catch a green pepper upside my head (she was preparing dinner). I believe my exact words were, "well, these are the card's were were dealt...nothing we can do except be excited about it. I am excited."
So I had to edit for brevity:) My favorite part was when Jonah yelled It's mine, it's mine... I think he was yelling something during that whole conversation but I didn't hear him until he said those words!! Left out a few other choice things that shall remain personal... I do think you are awesome though!
Funny that you said that Curtis because I told Becky to watch out with this joke because you might be more excited then she expected! And another one would be in the discussions! Becky did this to Carlos 5 weeks after we have Giovanni!
thats MEAN becky seriously! someone did that in my ward to her ex husband when they were still married before they had the twins
AWESOME. I totally agree. What was Mr. Jenkins thinking?!?! How funny!
Becky, you are GOOD! I love it!
hilarious. seriously becky, you should write a book. you are a great writer.
This is HILARIOUS! Of course I was ready to send you a congratulations! You are too clever:)
This is the best Aprils Fool I've heard. If I wasn't soooooo old I'd do this one to Mick!!!
I am laughing so hard! Thanks for a good laugh.
This is a GOOD one. I might have to try it for next year!!
Okay, that is really funny. Good job.
