"bloody proud of yourself, aren't ya?"

i know bloody is a bad word. but i live in america, not england, so i'm hoping i do not offend. bill and i like to quote the title of this post, a line from the movie "patriot games" (which gave me an ulcer the first time i saw it). it is among my repertoire of things i can say with an accent. here is the complete list:

"bloody proud of yourself, aren't ya?" (irish)

"no...not" (british) mark darcy at the end of bridget jones diary

"craig ferguson" (scottish)

i know, the list is neither extensive nor impressive. but it's all i got. clearly, accents are not my thing. but i digress. this post is about how bloody proud of myself i am that i pulled off what i consider to be a perfectly good april fool's joke on my kids. and what i mean by perfectly good is that it requires little money and little effort. here's what i did...i filled their lunch bags with lulu's fake food. a plastic pizza slice, fabric carrots, strawberries, cake and ice cream. i even gave jack a little doll bottle. then i added a little note that says "get hot lunch. april fool's!"

such little effort, but i can't stop smiling about it. i'll be smiling until they choose to retaliate when they get home. i better hide the saran wrap. it's a pretty good april fool's day. we are laughing around here...

for now.
