Now I Am the Fool....

April Fools.
A day of pranks, false statements and a surprising number of Facebook engagements.

I don't think I have never enjoyed April 1st. Partly Mostly because I fall for everything. From phony ads to gross food to hoax news articles. (Please note: Ji-Hye, I have never truly recovered from the vomit flavored jelly beans you offered me in high school...)

Seriously, though - I know this is a fun day for many, but for me it's an emotional mine-field. Do I believe you? Are you messing with me, or should I congratulate you on your pregnancy? Harvey Dent, can we trust him? Finding the truth is exhausting. Whether I'm too trusting, or just always wanting to believe the best of people ... I can't seem to help feeling played and betrayed at the end of the day.

So, if you stop by and see me at the coffee shop today, please be kind =) I won't be playing any pranks on you - in fact, today I will only be eating food I personally prepare, ignoring everything I see on Facebook, and assuming that any product released today is a lie.

And, since we're speaking of lies and betrayal, it only seems fitting to listen to "Betrayed" from The Producers by the brilliant & hysterical: Nathan Lane. Have a happy Monday, friends - and ... what's that you say? Somebody wrote "Gullible" on the ceiling again?
