 April 1, 2014 Canandaigua Connected ENewsletter
I have no April Fool's tricks up my sleeve. I've pulled the "I'm pregnant" trick one too many times. Last year, my youngest burst out into tears for fear of not being the baby anymore. So, no April Fool's Day shenanigans for me this year. Unless, of course, I get duped? Bring it on!
SPECIAL LAST MINUTE UPDATE: My 12 year old just got me! She hobbled to me, said she fell down the stairs and that she thought she broke her ankle!
"CADY! I'm not going to the Emergency Room today!!!" I screamed out.
"April Fools!" she says laughing. "We know you don't do malls and ER, Mom!" Haha - at least they know me!
Blue skies, Donna Bennett
