tvordljI meant to post about this yesterday when the memory occurred to me but i got distracted.
Anyway...
Mom was almost always able to fool Dad on April 1 nearly every year that she tried it. It was always one or the other...She'd wake him up in the morning, on a work day, and tell him either his car had a flat tire or he had overslept. He'd spring up, pissed off, and go to the window to look at the car. April Fool! or he'd spring up and start to rush to get ready for work... April Fool! After the initial annoyance, he'd laugh. You got me good, didn't you! he'd say. And he'd fall for it. Every time! The trick is to get him while he was asleep and he was groggy from being woken up, so he forgot what the date was :)
