We don't need no education

Last night I left my cell phone unattended for a few hours. When I checked it, I had four missed calls from my ex-wife, but no message. I called back to see what was going on, and Togers answered. He sounded very down.

Me: What's going on?

Him: Dad? Mom told me I had to call you about my grades. I got three Ds and two Fs.

Me: [About to launch into a profanity laced tirade]

Him: April Fool's!!!

I can't believe I fell for it.

Some April Fool jokes are QUITE believable, lol.

HMMMM--sounds like he got the April Fools thing in pretty quick if he did it before you got to talk....GOOD ONE though.

Whew...my kids would have got me on that one, except they couldn't say "April Fools" because it would likely be true... :)

Heff, unfortunately, it WAS believable.

Dee Ice, he probably jumped in because of the long pause, and he knew what was about to come.

Inklings, he did.

Anonymous, I know. Kids can be frustrating, eh?
