The Ultimate April Fools Joke

Working in an elementary school, I had about a thousand pranks played on me yesterday.

"Look, there's a spider above your head"
"Mr. Brewer (the principal) wants to talk to you"
"Quick, you have to go outside and talk to my teacher".

It was basically just a never ending day of craziness. Even Joe (my very soon to be adopted brother/nephew) got in on the fun by calling me and saying "You have a hole in your shirt. April's Fool". (So the joke didn't work quite as well over the phone but it was still pretty cute!)

But the ultimate April Fools joke...it snowed a little bit yesterday. In April. In the desert. Are you kidding me? I knew there was a reason I hated April Fools day.

That's funny! Lauren was the only one who played a joke on me. She told me I had a spider on my head. I really don't like this little Fool's day. I wonder how it came about anyway. Maybe I'll have to google it.

We had snow too. I think that it is ridiculous. I actually avoided the jokes this year because I have been out of the classroom for two days. So, no jokes. I did however work on family history and there were a gazillion McNamara's with the names james, mary, elizabeth, and thomas. Does that count as a joke?

Whenever I think of McNamara I think of the Skulls..which makes me want to watch it right now. And now I'm wondering where April fools day came from...I personally think we should do away with it.

I totally forgot that was a name from Skulls. It's just one of my family names. Weird. Remember how I have a student teacher right now? Also weird.

The snow really was a cruel joke. When will it stop! I think that is why I was in a grumpy mood today. I hate the cold.
