April Fool

Just thought I would share some of the April 1st shenanigans at our house today.

5:30 in the morning, and Robin is barely awake. She makes her groggy dash for the coffee pot to pour her cuppa wakemeup. She grabs the handle - the pot will not come out of the coffee maker. Some big dope taped the pot to the machine.

At this time I would like to report that Robin is not a morning person, and April 1st is not her favorite day.

When Robin returned home this afternoon, she decided to spend some quality time on her computer. But, alas - she tried clicking on the desktop icons to open programs and nothing happened. Could not open anything. Poor gal thought she had a virus.

It seems our devious little daughter, Criss, created a screenshot of the desktop, then set that image up as the display background. You could SEE the icons, but they were only an image file. Meanwhile, all the real icons had been hidden in the UNUSED ICONS folder. And voila - a desktop that doesn't work.

Pure genius. Robin was not so inclined to use that same word, however. Lucky for Criss, she left for a three day vacation in New Hampshire just before her mother got home. I hope three days is long enough...

Well, have a great week, folks!
