MY FAVORITE APRIL FOOLS
One of my favorite memories of a “holiday” is of an April Fools Day when my son Jordan was seven years old. We were driving down the road together when he suddenly screamed “watermelons!!!” at the top of his lungs. I slammed on the brakes, assuming that some truck must have dumped a load of watermelons on the highway. I looked frantically all around me, but I couldn’t find a watermelon on the road anywhere. I looked over at
I still don’t know how the idea of screaming “watermelons!” popped into the mind of a seven year old. It is, however, the best April Fools gag of all time as far as I’m concerned.
Yes, he was a twisted and devious child, and he has grown into a twisted and devious adult.
And I wouldn’t change a thing about him.

I hope you took the cost of new tires and brakes out of his allowance! LOL! One of my kids jumped out of a pantry at me, yelling “Boo!” Scared me half to death. It wasn’t even April Fool’s!

By the way, it was when he was little!
that’s hilarious! random…but those are usually the funniest things anyway….
You say “twisted and devious” like it’s a bad thing. Shame on you.
Like father like son????
I like it!!!
Oh, that is too funny!
I don’t think I would have appreciated the humor as well as you did…
I am so going to do that to my dad.
and where, do you suppose, did he get his sense of humor?
A prodigy!
That’s too funny!
I never trusted watermelons myself.
Ha!…and that’s why I am proud that Jordan and I are psychic twins
That’s GREAT!
