Gotcha Aaron!

For April Fool's Day I plagerized a joke my friend April played on her husband last year. Ya, I'm not original, but it still worked, so it was all good. Thanks April for the idea, can't wait to read what you did this year.

So Aaron calls me during lunch every day just to check in. He asked what I was going to do for the afternoon and I told him I was going to put in a load of laundry and then go lay down until the boys woke up. He thought nothing of it, but I had planted a seed. :)

Later, after the boys woke up from their naps, I called Aaron, doing my best to sound tired and frustrated. The call went something like this:

Aaron: Hello
Me: Hi. Soooooo....I'm on my way to get you right now.
Aaron: Ok?
Me: Remember how I told you I was going to put in a load of laundry and then go rest for awhile?
Aaron: Ya
Me: Well I did that, and while I was laying down I heard a big banging sound. So, I went out in the kitchen and water was pouring out from underneath our washing machine. I opened the lid, but couldn't figure out how to make the water stop, and it was covering the kitchen floor, so I decided to go to the utility closet and shut off all the water to our apartment. Then I got out every single towel we own and tried to wipe up the mess. All the towels are soaked, and I stacked them up dam style to try to keep any more water from getting on the living room carpet. As it is, there is still about a quarter inch of water sitting on the kitchen floor. I'm coming to get you because I don't know what to do now.
Aaron: Well, the shop vac in the shed should suck up water.
Me:  Ok, well, we can do that when we get home, I'm already in the car. Besides, I have no idea what to do after that, and all the water in our house is off.
Aaron: Ok, I'll be outside.
Me: K, bye.

Then the boys and I went and picked up Peanut Buster Parfaits at Dairy Queen, and drove to campus to pick up Aaron. He was standing on the urb waiting for me. When he got in the car, I handed him a napkin that had APRIL FOOLS! written on it. He told me that he hated me and that I was a jerk. I said, "But I brought you ice cream, and our house isn't really flooded." And smiled sweetly at him. He forgave me, and we spent 10 minutes eating our ice cream treat before he had to go back to work.

Happy April Fools Day! And thanks Aaron for being a good sport. Love you.
