April Fools Funnies

I laughed a lot today. Starting with the text picture Katie sent me of her boss' office strategically covered in foil. Which reminded me that I have to do a prank fast before Jeff realized what day it was. So I called him on the phone in my most whiny voice and told him I fell getting out of the shower and cut my toe and am pretty sure I need stitches. He told me to send him a picture. I thought, oh crap... until I decided to cover my toe in ketchup and send him a pix message of that.

So I walk into the kitchen and pull the ketchup bottle out of the fridge. Tyler heard my conversation and kept saying, "what toe is hurt mom, where's the blood mom? What's bleeding all over?" He followed me in the kitchen and watched me squirt ketchup all over my big toe and looked at me all crazy-like, "what are you doing mom, why are you doing that, mom?" I snapped a picture and he said, "Can I lick it mom? Now can I lick it?" (this dude LOVES ketchup) And even though my toe was just-got-out-of-the-shower-clean, I did not let him lick it off.

About 40 minutes later (yeah, I would have died of blood loss by now) Jeff tells me it looks like a blob of ketchup and I loose it and start laughing. That's how good I am at April Fool's jokes.

Another thing that made me laugh:

ME: "Tyler do you know it's almost dad's birthday? We need to be thinking about what to get him."

Ty: wide eyes, mouth open, excited look, "yeah! I know, a dinosaur."

Me: "Well, that's something you would like. Let's think about something DAD would like"

Ty: thinks for a second. "Oh I know. A cadewack. He WUUVS cadewacks." cadewack=cadillac

Me: busting up laughing.

Ty: "It's not funny mom"

Me: "No it really is. Do you know what a cadillac is?" Jeff talks about cadillacs all the time!

Ty: shrugs his shoulder, "I donno. Oh wait, yes I do... our car. the purple cadewack."

Me: "You're so smart."

Ty: "Ok, wet's get him a cadewack."

So, problem solved :)

Today I told Tyler it was a day to make lots of jokes. I think I told him this while pouring ketchup on my toes. So I asked him if he wanted to hear a joke. He said yes. I told him the ol' knock knock, banana who... joke and he repeated each phrase. Then when I finally said, "orange you glad I didn't say banana?" He just looked at me. I asked him if he got the joke and he said, "you're funny mom. That's a funny joke. We don't say 'banana who?, orange who?' that's funny mom."

So, he didn't really get it, but he still thought it was funny. I'll take it!

We finished off the day with meatloaf cupcakes with mashed potato frosting and a candle on top!
