April Foolery

I forgot how mini Mark has a somewhat skewed version of “April Fool’s Day” and just spends the day not playing tricks but generally causing mayhem. He grabbed the innards of a red pepper from the compost bowl today and threw it at Hannah….”April Fools!”.  He spent most of the day pelting people or trying to pelt them with some thing or other and then running. Thankfully, he’s the youngest and everyone sort of just knits the eyebrows, shakes the head with a puzzled half-smile and takes it mostly in good stride. I can’t possibly count how many times I said “That’s enough! Mark, you aren’t fooling people, you’re just bullying them!”At lunch, I accidentally scratched Hannah as I was handing her a plate and she said, joking, “Trying to gouge me?” I said “April Fools!” We both cracked up.
