I never do April Fool's Day. I'm just not clever enough to go around thinking of pranks. I seem to recall one time in my childhood when it was very important to me that I play a trick on people, and mom let me go to school with a sling on my arm (or was it my ankle?) and I pretended I had hurt myself. And then after I told people the truth, that I was really fine after all and it was all just *great big joke* I said, "April Fool's!" But they just kind of stared at me for a minute and then said, "Oh," and then walked away.

It was not quite the dramatic moment I had hoped for. Nor was it very funny.

And other kinds of pranks--where you're really getting a laugh at someone else's expense--mostly seem mean to me. Of course, if I did have some horribly irritating co-worker, and if I thought I wouldn't get caught, I just might put their stapler in jello.


But today, I have just one thing to share:




Tulips on my table!

No fooling.
