Did the normal “hurry-up-school-starts-in-5-minutes” joke this morning for Ashlyn and the normal “what-are-you-doing-up?-It’s-Saturday” joke for Evan. Ashlyn seemed to fall for it for a nano second. But, this one, the field trip permission slip got all 3 of them. You can print your own here.
I’m hoping they all enjoy their lunch treat of frosted cheerios Doughnut Seeds too.
UPDATE: I gave Drew the packet at lunch today. This is a TRUE account of what happened. Really.
Drew: “I didn’t know doughnuts grew on leaves. Hmmm….we should go outside and plant them, it’s a little rainy today.”
Me: “Yeah, maybe.” (smiling)
Drew: “Let me take a look at them. Oh, they look like cereal…funny.”
Me: “Why don’t you just eat them. It says they are fun to eat.”
Drew: “No, I want to plant them.”
Me: “Honey, they are cereal. It’s an April Fool’s joke. Doughnuts don’t grow on trees!”
Drew: (throws the packet at me and yells) “I DON’T LIKE JOKES. I DON’T EVEN LIKE YOU!”
Me: (having a hard time controlling laughter. Lydia, bending down scooping up every frosted cheerio and stuffing them in her mouth)
Drew: “I was so happy about it, and you lied to me!”
Me: (thinking I totally wished I had videotaped this whole conversation and going to get the phone to call this little man’s father, still laughing)
Drew: (growl, while Lydia still eats every last frosted Cheerio)
Hmmm….what else can I do today?
