A Day for Hating Fools

Ya know, like most everybody, I like Gnomes. They're helpful and hardworking and fun as hell to hang with. Also, much of my family gnomed out during The Change. But April Fools Day is like their species holiday. They just go nuts with pranking. Simple pranks, elaborate pranks, just plain goofy pranks ... they do 'em all and in my family and my neighborhood, I seem to be the Grand Prize Pranking Target.

This year, even my normally serene and earth motherly wife got in on the act (shoes glued to the floor), as did my supposedly loyal dog & cat (leaking tea mug, whoopie cushion)!

And it's only 9:00 in the morning.

I think I'll start drinking early.
