Deanna, that April Fools story is pure evil, oh my! Your poor Mom.
I've never liked to trick people, probably for similar reasons to Lux. It makes my stomach fall to my ankles to feel someone's depression/embarassment at such a gag. I was certainly not an accepted/cool/popular child.
[Actually, this reminds me that I saw this really cool show about Ann Wilson this morning on the Discovery Health channel. It was called Ann Wilson with Heart and it chronicled her life through her issues with weight/accpetance and her operation and subsequent weight loss, it was very good.]
Last year April 1 was an exhausting, awful day. I finally got home and my roommate told me that our landlord sold the building and we had 60 days to move. I was in a vulnerable state and totally fell for it and she let me fret for a couple of minutes until I finally realized the date and then I called her out on it. I did laugh but it really wasn't funny.
