April Fool’s
My father had a great sense of humor - always telling jokes, playing pranks and good for a funny story for whatever the occasion may be.
Of course, he was in the Lion’s Club Minstrel Show for many years and we grew up around clowns and performers. We thought having band rehearsals in the living room was a normal thing.
We’ve seen everything from the flower boutonniere that squirts water in your face to exploding cigarettes to the whoopie cushion.
This year the significance of April Fool’s Day seemed to slip by everyone - there were no pranks at home or at the office. I kinda missed it.
