    Its pagan right? Anyway, when I was in infant school the teacher told us all that dinosaurs where back and had been spotted on nearby hills...it was an April fool but I didnt know, I was horrified, I sweated for the whole day and when school was over I ran all the way home, you literally couldnt see my butt for dust as I run for safety, drama queen huh.

    Anyway I am often reminded of this by people who knew me at that time.

    Got any good April fools jokes or had any played on you?

    This isn't actually an April Fool's prank, but it could be one.

    There is a dry cleaning establishment in our neighbourhood called "Penguin Cleaners". There is a picture of a penguin on the sign. And depending on how you articulate the name of the enterprise, you can make it sound like this is a shop that specializes in cleaning penguins. The signage makes it even more convincing.

    My two daughters (ages 11 and 9) are wondering how many people in the neighbourhood own penguins, so that there would be a business devoted specifically to Penguin Cleaning. They are wondering if it's a lucrative business. They are wondering what kind of education you need to be a Penguin Cleaner. They also want to know if people from all over the world send their penguins there to get cleaned.

    Love, Scully

    When I was a kid visiting some of my "worldly" relatives, my dear sweet Uncle replaced the roll of toilet paper with a sheet of sand paper

    After that gag, I knew those ungodly people couldn't be all that bad...LoL....

    I was about 8 and my dad woke us up excitedly, "Girls, hurry up there's a parade of pink elephants flying down the street!!!!" We ran to look out the front windows as small feet could run. Our dad howled with laughter and reminded us, first of all, that elephants couldn't fly. We still remind each other of that one!!! :-)
