It is a beautiful mixture of humorous and tragic.<br />--------<br />My sweet-faced son stood before me, his impatience obvious as he bounced from foot to foot waiting for me to put down my book. "Mama, where do jellybeans come from?" he finally blurted out, his curiosity almost consuming him.<br /><br />I lowered my book. "When a jelly meats a bean and get married, they make little jellybeans," I responded, careful to ensure an authoritative and trustworthy quality to my voice and that the smirk didn't make it to my lipsHeatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06237138428325062807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1149217012399643733.post-61889713719712970272011-04-02T23:50:02.186-07:002011-04-02T23:50:02.186-07:00Greg - ah, I knew I felt a kinship with good old C...Greg - ah, I knew I felt a kinship with good old Charles :)Marchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14952331166517430843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1149217012399643733.post-26117189900338851632011-04-02T05:06:53.896-07:002011-04-02T05:06:53.896-07:00Let's hope your tax accountant isn't an Ap...Let's hope your tax accountant isn't an April Fool's prankster! It sounds like you got through the day unscathed; I quite like trying to spot the April Fool's stories that various websites do.<br />'giving him up for adoption so I can move to Mars' is a very good line.<br /><br /><b>The prank</b><br />Charles Ascugimento, Head of Building Security, disliked April in general and April Fool's Day in particular.
