I knew he would not be happy if he got up and took a shower only to find out he could have slept in - so I woke him around 5:30 AM to tell him there was no school due to a snow storm.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\nHis reply was along the lines of \"ha ha I know it's April Fool and I am not falling for that.\" I suggested he look out the window but as that had been our usual \"fool\" he refused. He got up and was heading for a shower and I tried most seriously to again tell him there was no school.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" contenteditable=\"false\">\nI forget how I managed to convince him to look out a window - but he did.
