In Vermont you get a lot of snow – a real lot of snow! Schools rarely close unless it's really bad – or really unexpected – or both!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n For years, my son and I played April Fool tricks on each other – usually along the line of trying to get the other to look at some imaginary object or some event that was not actually happening.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n On April 1 of his year in VT there was a 2 foot snow storm and school was<\/strong> canceled. 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.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n His 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.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n I forget how I managed to convince him to look out a window – but he did. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n His words were not appropriate for a family-friendly blog so I won't print them It was such a funny experience I recall it most every April 1 – and especially on days like today when New England got hit with another April Fool snow storm!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Happy April Fool <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n P.S. The story is true and neither of us lives in New England anymore What's your favorite April Fool memory?
