Like...Lorrie, I find your comment most interesting. Like you I've always had an aversion to snakes, but that feeling never ever clicked in when I saw this book (a friend had recommended it years ago). I just saw the silliness of the story and the boa never really registered as a snake in my mind. Too funny.

It does sound cute, though. April Fool's day passed without much marking this year, although I've been known to play tricks on my children in the past.

My mother never played cute April Fool’s jokes like that. It was more of a “Look! Your laces are untied.” Lame. Very.

Sounds like your Grandpa was quite a tease. You mention snow in April -- we had snow the last two days and it's -16C here this morning. I'd definitely call that an April Fool's prank. Be safe!Brenda @ Its A Beautiful Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02955486477303938670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017539925620642059.post-78703195991811984642020-04-01T07:46:29.743-06:002020-04-01T07:46:29.743-06:00Your mother's prank reminded me of my beloved ...Your mother's prank reminded me of my beloved and missed grandfather. He would call every year on April Fool's and my mom would call my brother or I to the phone. Grandpa would tell us school was cancelled because of a snow day and we'd get very excited. He'd let the excitement build for a few moments, yell "April Fool's!" and then hang up. I can still feel the disappointment, lol. Snow in April was par for the course in northern Michigan, so we never questioned it. Nor did we remember from year to year, lol. He cracked himself up regularly, and I cheerfully passed his corny jokes down to my sons. I can't wait to hear them pass them down to their someday children. Love is the gift that keeps on giving. Stay safe! :)Shanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12158892994417030606noreply@blogger.com
