April Fool's Day
This cartoon reminded me of the time that my Mother sent me a letter about April 1st and used the whole first page telling me all about that she was pregnant and not only that-- but it was going to be twins! She had even picked out names already. I never once connected it to April Fool's Day.
I fell over on the couch and started bawling because she was about 50 years old and I was saddened that I would have siblings that I would never be around because I was married and living in Indiana then. After a moment of sniffling I returned to the letter and turned over the first page and there in big letters she had printed "APRIL FOOL."
I felt like a fool. She really had me going there for a few minutes. My Mother was like that--she really liked to put one over on anybody she could! And she definitely had put one over on me that time!
