Oh yeah. Today is April Fools Day.<\/p>\n
I’d forgotten. However, I did end up playing a joke on someone, almost
\ninadvertently.<\/p>\n
My sister was riding her horse today when Katie started bucking and threw her
\noff. She’s had many falls, but this one was severe. She sprained her ankle
\nfairly badly and maybe even broke it. My sister will have to go in to get it
\nX-rayed tomorrow morning.<\/p>\n
And, no, I didn’t do anything to make the horse buck. Sickos.<\/p>\n
My sister’s friend Denise called up today to talk to her. I knew it was
\nDenise because my sister basically only gets calls from two people, her
\nboyfriend Nathan and Denise. Her boyfriend was with her, so I figured it had
\nto be the other when my brother answered the phone and said, “No, she isn’t
\nhere… She fell off of Katie and sprained her ankle… No, I’m not making it
\nup!… They’re at the doctor right now!” I gestured toward my brother.<\/p>\n
“Let her get it from someone else,” I suggested. My bro handed the phone to
\nme. Denise was still railing into the phone, “…You know that’s not true.
\n I don’t care if it IS April Fools. You know where liars go and…” “Hey,”
\nI spoke. She finished her diatribe and shut up inquisitively. “All I know
\nis that Mom woke me up from my nap saying that my sister had fallen off of
\nKatie and had a sprained ankle, and they were going to the chiropractor to
\nget it checked. Okay?” When I had her convinced, I added, “Here, talk to
\nsomeone else,” and handed the phone to my friend Andrew who was standing
\nright there. “Make something up,” I instructed him.<\/p>\n
“Hello?” asked Andrew into the phone. “Hello? Who is this?” After playing
\nwith her a bit like that, he finally said, “Steph and Nathan went to a movie.
\n They’ll be back later. Bye.” Then he hung up.<\/p>\n
A few minutes later the phone rang again. It was Nathan asking me to call
\nDenise to let her know where they were. I laughed, agreed, and looked up the
\nnumber where she works. “Rich’s Car Wash,” she answered the phone. “Is this
\nthat topless carwash?” I asked. That’s how she knows it’s me. “Yeah,” she
\ngiggled, “This is it.” I gave her Nathan’s message, reaffirming her belief
\nin the truth of my sister’s injury. Then I shattered everything by
\nincluding, “and happy April First,” before hanging up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
