Don't worry, I'm not going to ramble on and on through silly story throughout this post like I usually do.
April Fools! I lied - I AM going to tell you a story, and, as usually, I'll probably do my share of rambling too.
A few years ago, Hubs decided to play an April Fools joke on his sister. It began as a very simple joke, but, boy oh boy did it escalate into much more than we had anticipated.
On March 31 of that year, we drove to the adjoining state where my step-daughters lived to see my oldest step-daughter perform in a play for her drama club. The play was an Agatha Christy play, and Hub's daughter ended up being the one 'who dun it'. hehe
The next morning (April Fools Day), Hubs sent his sister an e-mail and told her that we had gone to see the girls the night before, and he was surprised to find out that the oldest daughter had gotten into some trouble (referring to the play - which sister-in-law KNEW we were going to see!).
Since I have an extremely difficult time lying, I stayed out of this. Well, I tried to.
That night, Hubs was outside working on the farm, and my sister-in-law called in a HUGE panic.
"This is horrible! Oh no, this is so bad, now her grandma is going to know and... oh no, this is bad" she stammered.
"What in the world are you talking about?" I asked.
She explained that she had typed a long e-mail to Hubs (her brother) asking about what had happened with oldest daughter. In the e-mail, she had also proceeded to ask if she was pregnant or if it was drugs, or what. She went on in the e-mail to say that she just couldn't believe that the oldest daughter was in some sort of trouble, because she was the child of Hubs who never did anything wrong.
After typing all of this out in an e-mail, naturally, she clicked 'Send'. The problem was, she accidentally sent it to her and Hubs' aunt... which is Hubs' mom's sister. Which meant that the phones were already being dialed to tell 'Grandma' that her oldest grandchild had gotten herself into some trouble.
I about fell out of my chair trying not to laugh. My sister-in-law was freaking out, because she was going to be responsible for 'ratting Oldest daughter out to her grandma'.
Then she asked me, "Misty? Is she pregnant? That's what it is, isn't it? Is she? Oh my gosh, I can't believe that now Mom is going to know!"
I couldn't help it, she was in such a panic, I had to make her feel better... but she just wasn't getting it.
"Sis-in-Law, listen to me. What is the date today?"
"It's April 1st! Who cares! I'm trying to talk to you about Hub's Daughter!"
"Sis-in-Law, LISTEN to me!!! Where did we go last night?"
"To see her play! What is your point???"
"It was an Agatha Christy whodunit play. Did you know that?" I asked.
"YES, I knew that! Misty, what is your point?"
"OK, work with me here. I'll ask you again... what is TODAY???"
She was really getting ready to lose her temper with me. Her voice started to rise, and then, all of a sudden it dropped, and she said "Ohhhhhh, I am SO going to get him for this!!!"
Later, Hubs called to personally thank his sister for making his simple little April Fools joke much more interesting than he had ever imagined it would be.
