I've been listening to a lot of Obama's stuff lately, and it's starting to make sense. You know, he has a lot of great ideas for the country. And it's been a while since we had a truly charismatic leader. I think that it's about time. Of course, I'm just kidding. Look at the date if you're wondering why (or reading this on a day other than the one I posted it).

"Oh man. Someone is falling for it. I'll write a quick response 'please share some of these ideas'. Wait - which board am I on? Bountiful? There's nobody that gullible here - who wrote thi... ARBI? Holy cow! No, there's something wrong here.
Curse you, April 1st!"

I drove my two oldest ones to school this morning and picked up a couple others (friends of oldest's) along the way. I said, "Don't forget it's April Fool's day! You gotta get your teachers really good!" One of the friends said, "Oh yeah, I forgot it was April Fool's Day today." Then, turning to my daughter, says, "Did you remember it was April Fool's?" She replied in her best monotone, unexcited voice, "Why do you think I'm wearing a sling?"

Heh. Yesterday evening I gleefully informed my oldest that she was going to LOVE my April Fool's Day joke for her. She got this worried, cornered animal look in her eyes and said, "WHAT?!" I just smiled serenely.
'It's about time we recognized that not everyone in the church is that top ten percent of the celestial kingdom material,' he notes. 'And, really, that's okay. I mean, the bottom two levels of the celestial kingdom are supposed to be pretty good too, right?'
Oh, I'm gullible, I thought I would have to go to CO and whip you with a wet noodle.

Dag-nabbit! I've been got again - a full day after April Fools! See, this is the sort of dumb stuff my college newspaper routinely puts out, so how was I to know?
