I woke up this morning, as I assume we all did, with my wits about me. I was ready for the, "your shoes are untied", to be thrown at me left or right, I could not be fooled. But in the end, the joke was on me. I did not receive one April Fools Day attempt.
What happened here, am I a fluke in this? I have a feeling we are loosing our dear old friend, The April Fool. I miss the good ol', "HONEY IM PREGNANT!", "IM IN THE HOSPITAL!", and of course the classic, "your shoes are untied." Which I might add never fails.
Im sure you will say, "you know Joshua, you are right, April Fools Day does seem to be less exciting than previous years." Then I'm sure that will turn to a slight panic followed with, "what has caused this?" The honest answer is, I have no idea. I guess it could be we are all so busy, or maybe I'm a Fluke with this situation. But I do know one thing, I cannot just let my friend, The Fool, Just be dropped from our lives like an unwanted puppy. I mean think about it, April Fools Day is truly the most amazing holiday! You are expected to make people look like idiots. What is greater than that?
So I place upon you all a challenge. Start planning now, next year we all need to have BIG pranks planed! lets make 2009 the year of the Fool. Also you have a few hours left my friends, Lets make the best out of this situation.
I also ask you to tell me about your April Fool story, Via blog comments. Maybe your amazing stories will give us all more hope for our dear old friend.
Love always,
Joshua Thomas
