April Fools

This morning, as I got up and headed down the hallway with Anna in tow, passing the bathroom, I glanced in and noticed a rather obvious crumpled piece of plastic wrap hanging down the side of the toilet. I continued into the kitchen and told Margaret to go and remove the plastic wrap, because this isn't really a funny joke and it would be very messy if someone went potty. She sheepishly went to remove the wrap, I poured myself a cup of coffee and sat down to check my email.
When, a minute later, I heard a splashing noise behind me I looked back to see Margaret at the sink, covered with water, hastily removing a rubber band from the sprayer. This time she was apparently caught by her own trap.

I proceeded to give her a little talk about jokes that are funny and those that are just plain messy and mean and admonished her not to try and do anymore April Fools jokes. Her response: "I didn't mean to mom."

It seems she somehow accidently put plastic wrap on the toilet and a rubber band on the sink sprayer. Rrrrriiiiight.

Gotta love her :).

Books!

"Good morning, starshine. The earth says hello!" - Willy Wonka, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, 2005

Hello, again. I've read tons of books this last month. I read Eight Cousins by Lousia May Alcott, which I hope to have a book report due soon. I just have gotten into The Hall Family Chronicles, by Jane Langton. Her first book The Fledgling, is not really considered part of the series. But it is about the same family. I accidentally got The Mysterious Circus, which was the 7th book.

Bye,
Margaret
