Let us be thankful for the fools.
But for them the rest of us could not succeed.

April 1st is one of those days that teachers pray will fall on a weekend....not so this year. Surprisingly, this year's jokes did not center around the 12-year-old Lab Rats with which I spend the majority of my days.
The fun began when Taylor, my 20 (hoping to see 21) year-old son, sent a text message to my cell phone. His message read, "I just won 50 grand on a 2 dollar lotto ticket!!!" Yes, I fell for it. I called him back immediately only to hear "April Fool!" Not funny.......
Later that evening, Carey called, as he often does to give us updates on his impending graduation from ET school. After a few minutes of listening to Brady tell me that he lives in The California and that Mammy lives in The Bartlett and asking when Mammy and PawPaw were coming to The California, Carey took over the phone. He told me about how he and the other guys are finishing up the last class and going over paperwork for their new duty stations. He then tells me that there may be a slight glitch in his assignment to Pascagoula, Mississippi. As I am being sucked deeper into the story, he says, "Mom, it looks like they are going to change our assignment to Kodiak, Alaska.
KODIAK, ALASKA?????? What the !#$%! "April Fool!" Not funny.......
What is that old saying about the Mother of Boys?
