Today was April Fool's Day. Mom called and wanted me to fool Jama for her. Jama fools Mom every year and every year Mom swears it will be the last. Mom wanted me to tell Jama that Carrie was preggers. I didn't want to do anything without letting Carrie know (since we are talking about her belly), so I waited until Carrie was home from an appointment. We called later, and we got Jama a little excited but whenever someone asks "is this an April Fool's joke?" you're basically done. We also called Carrie's mom and sang Happy Birthday on her voicemail. Ironically enough, Carrie couldn't remember if today was her mom's actual birthday! Could it be an April Fool's prank? A quick call home yielded surprising results: today was not Mrs. Cassano's birthday.
It was yesterday. Oops.
Life continues. We went out to get sushi with Kent to celebrate his new job. When we got back Matt called to congratulate Carrie and I on her pregnancy. Huh? Mom, in her eagerness, sent out an email to the family detailing new life in Carrie's belly. She got Matt! Mom later called to have me tell Patrick the details. He was wise to her scheming. In the meantime, Carrie was shocked as she checked her email and read the notice of her pregnancy. "A little notice would've been nice!"
*Ironically, I found out that Carrie WAS PREGNANT four days later at 3 in the morning.
**I'm not a huge fan of how I used to write, but much of it was marked private on an old journal site. It's more of a thought-dump and I didn't expect it to ever be read. I'd like to think my writing has improved since.
