The accountant just called… it turns out he mis-typed one of the numbers on our tax return when I was there. He just re-did it and we actually OWE $980.

bummer.

I wait an hour, but no response. Another hour goes by… still nothing.

I pace back and forth. I check my email. Nothing.

When will he respond?

Finally, at 5:10, I call him.

Jay: Hello?

Me: Hi! It’s me.

Jay: Oh. Hi. (sounds very gloomy)

Me: Did you get my email?

Jay: You mean about our taxes? That we actually OWE money instead of getting $5,000 back? (sounds super-duper down in the dumps)

Me: APRIL FOOL’S!

(SILENCE)

Yeah, I totally got him.

But isn’t April Fool’s day supposed to be fun? Cause from over here it just feels kind of MEAN.

Hmph.

    That’s better than telling him you won the lottery. I’d rather be freaked out and then relieved any day.

    I tried to tell my husband I was pregnant.

    He looked at me and told me I have to go poop. That is a new saying in our house, so I thought about it for a second and realized that he was telling me that I was full of crap.

    Yeah, April Fools Day prank- fowled.

    If my husband did that to me I definitely would not have laughed. Money = no laughing matter.

    Of course, it would have been kind of fun to do it to him…

    Oh my gosh you’re terrible. Did he laugh? I think my husband would have exploded.

    My sister always pulls an April Fools joke on my mom. This year she told her she was calling off her wedding. My mom found that very NOT FUNNY. I thought that was way meaner than yours, so don’t feel so bad!!

    If he fell for that, on April Fool’s Day, he deserved the discomfort!
