Do you remember
last year when I shared the best April Fools joke ever?! Well, they got us again! My friend called me on Saturday night to see if I might like to come to dinner on Sunday. Not too long after getting off of the phone, it occurred to me that Sunday was April Fool's day. Remembering, the great April Fool's joke from last year, I figured there was something up, but I didn't know what. I told Cameron my suspicions and he said something like, "Maybe we shouldn't go and just text them 'April Fools' five minutes after we are supposed to get there."
But I knew that if my friends invited a big group over for dinner, then we would actually be served dinner, and the joke would be harmless and funny. So we went.
When we got there, everything appeared to be normal. We could smell the dinner. Everyone was sitting on the couch chatting, waiting for dinner to start. There were plates set around the table.
We said a prayer over the food, and then our host said, "Well, I don't think there is enough room around our kitchen table. Let's go to our formal dining room." He then led us to the garage! When we opened the door, we saw that there were two long strips of brown paper set on the floor with placemats, plates, and silverware drawn on. Over the entire floor were big sheets of plastic. We were told to "Each take a seat but make sure not to step on the tables!" Next they handed out bibs made from wrapping paper. All of our cups were filled with what appeared to be water, but was actually a clear kool aid.
Soon our host walked in carrying a bowl full of salad, which they dumped into piles directly onto our "tables." They did the same with bread, spaghetti, and jello. We ate with our fingers, off of the floor. Don't worry, the floor was covered in plastic! Remember?
Pictures of the night!
It was fun! And I think Cameron is making plans for the Young Men in our ward. Only he said he'll use mashed potatoes and gravy instead of spaghetti.
I also played a joke on Cameron, but it didn't work. I put a drop of blue food coloring on his toothbrush, but he noticed the blue water when he ran his toothbrush under the water before brushing. He made sure to rinse it all out before putting it in his mouth.
