KHARMA

April first is always a fun day for an outgoing person like me. I really truly, enjoy pulling pranks and laughing with/at people. But this year, the tables were turned…..

The last couple April Fools’ Days haven’t been too original, but always effective… Remember yesterday when I said Kayla and I were always in the same spot when we hid from three year old Nathan when we played Hide and Seek? Nathan never caught on… Same scenario for when you announce a pregnancy EVERY April first…. I mean it is ludicrous!

Yesterday around 10:00 I got back from a break at work to find a text message from my sister. I checked it as I was logging back in to my computer. All it was, was that goofy sideways smiley face. My response? "What did you do, A-hole?!?!?"

I started to get nervous as I entered my pin number to access my emails. Sure enough- one from my mother in law… very upset. She didn’t know that she had to have a facebook account in order to get updates on her daughter in laws fertility. She wanted to know if she was going to be a Grandma and wanted an explanation for why someone with facebook had emailed her about the event.

I had no idea what she was talking about and even played it off that it wasn’t me she was talking about. (Because surely she was talking about Sarah or Amber)… But if she WAS talking about me, she needed to karate kick the ‘emailer’ in the tooth next time she saw them. My eggs are all mine, sister… and not sperminated.

Sure enough it was Mark’s Aunt (with facebook) who inquired to Tammy about my knocked-up-ed-ness. She had seen the following status on the website:

Tiffany Alexander Baker: I know I know... It's april fools day... but I can't wait until this stupid holiday is over to tell everyone that I AM GOING TO BE A MOM soon! Yep, me and mark and preggers!! NOT A JOKE GUYS... I WISH! HAHA! SERIOUSLY THOUGH! WISH US LUCK!!!

To which I FREAKED OUT and called my sister. Who was in HYSTERICS from laughter. She had hacked into my account and caused quite a stir. Some comments on my account were:

bugger pops outs.... 29 minutes ago · See Wall-to-Wall
