04/02/2006: "April Fools Day by Christopher Folino"

April Fools Day
The one time of year, I get back at my five-year old daughter for waking me up at 4AM on Christmas Day and for failing to “Beer Me” while I’m watching Springer on Tivo.
April Fools day comes only one day a year, and I started the day off right away with a “You were adopted card” with a nice photo of a giraffe family gathered around a monkey.
After crying for four straight hours, I got her again as she was eating her “Honey Nut Cheerios.” She accidentally dropped a few cheerios on the floor I pretended “that was the straw that broke the camel’s back” and I kicked her out of the house.
You should have seen her face while she was standing outside in the rain crying for 72 ½ minutes…oh it was priceless.
And lastly as she was taking flu medication from standing and crying in the rain she asked for her mommy and I told her “Mommy left, she ran away because of you!”
And when her mother returned home from the grocery store 20 minutes later I told my daughter that daddy needs all her money in her piggy bank so he can bribe mommy to stay another night.
April Fools Day! It only comes once a year, however, if done right the impression can last a lifetime!
Yesterday for April Fools Day, my wife and I actually were able to spoil our daughter thanks to my work and take her to the taping of the Nickelodeon Kid’s Choice Awards Show hosted by Jack Black.
It was a great event and you know you’ve watched way too much Nickelodeon when other people around you are screaming when they see “Lindsay Lohan!” however, you’re more excited to spot the dad from “Drake and Josh”
So of late, I’ve been on this quest to find a decent taco in Newbury Park, and I got to say it ain’t happening. I almost died because of the pure dryness from the “Taco Inn” after eating one their tacos. A place called the “Taco Inn” should know how to make a taco right? It’s a sad world when “Taco Bell” kicks “Taco Inn” ass!
I grew up in El Monte date this Hispanic girl or close to three years, don’t miss her one bit, however, her parents I miss almost daily because they were great cooks.
“Gamers” is doing well, we have had two distribution meetings since Friday evening and both were very positive, more coming up this week.
