April Fools

Today is the day that everybody turns into a comedian.

I have disliked this day ever sense I can remember, which was in the second grade.

April 1st years and years ago, I had just walked into MRS Muller's second grade classroom. Just like any other day I was putting my coat and back pack on an available hook.

My friend Mandy came up to me and said, "Hey Britany, did you know we don't have dance today?"

Being a trusting friend, I replied, "We don't? How come?"

She got a huge smile on her face and in a loud voice responded, "APRIL FOOLS!" And continued to laugh hysterically as I just stood there.

I honestly didn't get what was so funny. I looked around me to see if anyone was doing something comical, she couldn't possible be laughing at the remark she just made....Well she was....Unfortunately.... I thought to myself how incredibly stupid her little 'joke' was.

I would like to make it clear that I am no prude to jokes, even when I am the butt of them. I have no problem laughing at something that is funny, and I consider myself to have a REALLY good sense of humor! Just ask my husband, we always talk about how funny I am.

I am what you would call a 'grinch' to this excuse of a Holiday. Especially to people who claim stupid things such as pregnancy, leprosy, illness, and the cancellation of a dance class. I don't see the point, nor do I care to.
