April Fool's 2011


I'm almost ashamed to say I played this one, after the devastating effect it had on my son's psyche.
He had just turned fourteen and loves basketball and the NBA.  He loves the Utah Jazz, as well as, follows the LA Lakers.  They played in Utah on April 1st this year.  So on his way to school that morning, I called his mother who was taking him to school and told her to tell him I had 3 tickets for the lakers that night.  He was very happy and by the time he was getting ready to get out of the car, I told his mother to tell him April Fools.  Well she did, hesitatingly.  He broke down in tears, from the major disappointment.  I had to profusely apologize to him on the phone.  Then after school I had to take him out for a fountain drink.  Every so often, he makes me buy him another one.
