April Fools' Day

Some people love this day…some people hate this day.  If you're a teacher, you usually fall to the latter of the two options because students are trying to get you all day - and most are not in the most creative (or funny) ways.

My daughter reminded me of the time a few years ago when she hid all the soaps, shampoos and conditioners from our shower and I didn't realize it until I was all wet.  Needless to say, I wasn't happy. And to tell you the truth, I had completely forgotten about it.  I can laugh about it now - but I'm not one that you mess with my morning routine…especially if I haven't had coffee.

So, I planned a prank for my Advisory today.  I have never done this as a teacher, but I thought I would be ahead of the game.  So I cut out the letter "E" from brown paper and put them in a pan with tinfoil over it.  I even brought in napkins and a spatula…just to make it more believable.  And then I told them I made brownies for them (Brown-E's).  They were razzing me about April Fools' Day and thought there might be something wrong, so I got pretend-mad and made them put their heads down and close their eyes.  I got 'em good…well, some were mad.  Heh heh heh…

Today I wish you a good joke and the ability to laugh (even if it's at your expense)!
