Aftermath

Neil and I aren't really into pranks. Well, at least I'm not. Mostly, because I am afraid of retaliation. Plus, I am extremely gullible and I would probably fall for just about anything. Like a few years ago when I was in college my Mom sent out an email to our entire family that explained their plans. Basically, my Dad was retiring they were moving away, etc, etc. Being the only single person in the family I think it traumatized me the most. I also didn't read the little April Fools at the very end of the email. So I spent the entire day in tears wondering where I would go for holidays. I finally called my Mom to talk to her about it and then she laughed and said it was just a joke. I still haven't gotten her back for that.

Neil did pull a prank on his Dad. He called him up and said his work offered him a job in California and we would be moving in May. His Dad congratulated him and went on about how awesome that would be. Then Neil felt like it had gone on long enough, he said "But we'll probably move back next April 1." This just confused his Dad because he didn't know why we would move back so soon. Then he realized it was just a joke. Although, maybe next April it won't be......

The worst prank of the day came from our DVR. I'm pretty sure I have sung praises to this technology because it is amazing. I haven't watched live TV in over a year and I love it! Anyway, Wednesday nights are set aside for watching LOST. Well, we were enjoying another good episode right up until Sawyer hands little Ben over to Richard and then everything ended. The DVR didn't record the very end. I know it was almost the ending but what happened??? We have no idea how it ended and we didn't see previews for next week. Which is probably good because I hate those teasers but this has never happened before. What a terrible prank.

oohhh, that's horrible! One week our DVR didn't record Lost, and recorded something super lame (like Southpark) instead...I was SO sad!! Needless to say, Lost is at the top of our DVR priority now! Thank goodness you can at least stream Lost and see the end...that would definitely suck though! My deepest condolences! :)
