Dang it Birdy, hope they didn't all hit you up for child support.
April 1st one year I wrote a heartfelt, four page letter to my mom, saying that I'd got a girl in my village pregnant and that while she couldn't read or write or speak English (actually not true, most of 'em have the basics and all the village elementary schools teach in English), so while she couldn't read or write or speak English she was a really nice girl and I was gonna bring her home and try to find a way to make it work. At the end of the letter I wrote in big letters PS. APRIL FOOL!!!!
When I mailed it April 1st I failed to consider the fact that it might not arrive in New York State until June.
My mom never did get through all four pages, she tore it up and started crying
She still doesn't think it was very funny, my sister does, she's the one who put the pieces together and finished the letter.
Actually, if I had it to do over? WTF a couple of African kids? Worse things coulda happened.
