You know how every year April fools comes around and you like to prank your co-workers, friends, or anyone who isn’t my wife?  Do you also know that sometimes those things can go terribly wrong, like the time the radio station announced they would be dropping cash from a helicopter, then announced it was an April fools joke and the crowd got angry and beat up the radio reps.  Well no blood was shed today but things did not go as planned.

You should know that I’m in the D.C. area at a military school doing training for the Air Force.  I have been very fortunate to get a fun teacher and class that enables all of us to have fun, but we are also good students and know when to be serious etc.

So today I was expecting and planning some good old pranks.  However we had a very busy day of writing ahead of us so we had to balance.  A few of us decided to order some pizza and work through lunch to get things done.  Why our teacher was at lunch one her collegues came in and explained that we should at least hide the pizza so she doesn’t get in trouble.  So we did and then had him come back in to ask if he would help us play a prank.  We thought a fake story about getting in trouble with the pizza would be good and he agreed to help.

Our teacher came back in along with her boss and someone and another teacher asking about the pizza, but asking us.  All of the sudden we were in trouble.  I smelled a rat and thought our teacher found out and we planned and joking us.  So we all played along until the boss left.  I asked our teacher what that was all about kind of mad still playing along.  She reciprocated by getting angrily asking why we would get her in trouble.  Somewhere along the line both parties were joking but also we all really did get in trouble, but it was hard to tell when the joke ended.  We were all mad but didn’t really know who to be mad at.

Later she called me into the hall to find out what was going on and we were able to explain what happened and the funniest day of the year turned out to be pretty crappy.  The only good news I got today is how awesome my wife is.
