After she heard we were moving we had a conversation (texting) that went like this:
Amanda: "Have you told mom yet? She's going to be so sad."
Me: "No, will you tell her for me?"
A: "No, that's something that you need to tell her at home. She's going to miss you."
M: "I'm scared to."
In the meantime my mom sends A a text telling her we're having family dinner on Saturday and that I have some big news and that she hopes I'm expecting.
A: "You're waiting till Saturday?! Oh man, I hope she doesn't find out before then from someone who reads your blog."
M: "I don't dare tell her. Will you do it for me?"
A: "No way man! I know how upset she'll be."
Me and My Mom: "April Fools!" (By this point I just felt guilty and couldn't carry it on anymore.)
A: Silence - for two hours!
Finally I sent her a text.
M: "Are you mad at me?"
A: "No, I thought it was super funny and well played! I was seriously laughing and driving and I thought I was going to crash! Haha!
So, there you have it folks. A great April Fools joke! Sorry to those of you I duped. Although, it would be a great experience to head out on our own. Now I really know how much we're loved if we ever do leave. Thanks for all your comments and love! Now, what for next year....
