My husband still doesn't know about that one.
I don't know why, I guess I was born gullable. And the worst part is, I can't even think of ways to get even. My husband loves this. He lives for the next joke, prank or scare. Like this April Fool's Day. I swore to myself that I was going to be prepared for anything he threw my way. But he caught me offguard (of course) first thing in the morning when I was still in dreamland.
He tears open the bedroom curtains. "Where'd you park the car?! It's not by the telephone pole!"
I was out of bed and to the window before I even opened my eyes.
"April Fool's!"
At least he saved me the embarrassment of running outside in my underwear. Any other year this prank would have been totally unbelievable (even for me), because we live in a small town where nobody locks their front door and leaves their cars running outside of the local market. But our truck just happened to get stolen last fall by an escapee from the local jail.
Only me.
