Kitty loves April 1st. She thinks pranks are a riot. Usually I think ahead and have something planned to fool her. This year I was caught unawares. I blame the chaos of moving. And my general lack of awareness. But mostly moving.
Kitty did not get caught unprepared. In fact, she stayed up late the night before April 1st and crafted a spider out of paper. Then she hung it from my bedroom door jamb so I would walk into it when I opened the door. She startled me with that one.
She also made a diorama of creepy-crawlies and set them next to the bread so I would touch them during breakfast. She startled me again!
She made Michael a brown E and offered it to him as a treat. He was duped. But I failed to photograph that one. Refer to my aforementioned comment about being unaware.
Kitty was disappointed that there were no pranks awaiting her and I felt awful about this. I quickly tucked the scorpion she had made into her lunchbox and put googly eyes on her Jello cup. At least that would be something.
While she was at school I put a lizard in her bed and a cockroach in her cleat. She wasn't phased by the lizard because she's a weirdo and thinks reptiles are cute. But I did get her good with the cockroach. I elicited a fantastic jump from her. She hated the cockroach so much she wanted to immediately throw it away. I'm sensing a weakness that I can exploit in the future.
It was a successful day of pranks.
Just you wait. Next year I will be extra-prepared. I already have a brilliant idea. Mwah-ha-ha!
