Fool's Rush In

Je suis enceinte! (I am pregnant!).

gotcha! just kidding!

That was my attempt at being foolish. Fortunately today I was not the one who was fooled. I am fairly gullible and I have a small sense of humor and so I would have been fooled by just about anything today. BUT Tyler didn't try anything....not yet anyway.

But I am reminded of an incident when I was fooled exactly 11 years ago. Tyler and I had been dating only a few months. He had already asked me to Prom and we were planning on attending together. On this day, 11 years ago, he pulled me aside right before early morning Seminary. He started telling me that his parents didn't feel comfortable with us dating so seriously. That he had reconsidered his decision to ask me to Prom and that frankly, his parents wouldn't let him go with me and finally, that we should break up. I was crushed inside. I didn't know what to say. But I stayed cool and polite and told him that if he and his parents had come to the decision that I would respect that. I was not happy about it and nearly in tears until he said, "Hannah, what day is it?" And I probably reacted like, "Um, Thursday, I don't know." and he probably said, "No, Hannah, what day of the year is it?" And then I saw the light and probably slugged him. He did get me! Since then, I've become less gullible and less comical. Oh, sigh.
