April Fool's Day|

Every once in a while I like to think that I can do something that someone will never forget.
I sat in the breakroom of the Kindergarten and listened to the Norwegian prattle as I usually do, trying desperately to one day just realise that I can understand everything perfectly!
Today was not that day.
But anyways, its great to try ... because I would have totally forgotten what day it was!
1st April
What a special day! I think the last time I TRIED to fool someone seriously I was in high school. Too many people expect it ... so it's not fun anymore.
'Is today 1st April? ' I asked one of the bosses. 'Yes'
'Ah!!! I'm soooo going to play a trick on one of the teachers!! I LOVE to joke with her!'
What would work?
We were right in the middle of working out if I would be allowed to come back again after my little vacation. Ah ha! .. That sounds like a good plan.
I had to get help though. A good joke needs more than 1 person to be truely beliveable.
Joke and helper intact, I ended my lunch break with my heart racing to play this joke.
I walked through the Kitchen and had to stand up outside for a while to get myself into character.
The chef looked at me curiously ...
''What are you doing?'' She asked
''I'm trying to get into character. I'm going to play an April Fools' on the boss'' I snickered... while trying to think of something sad, 'I'm going to say that I can't come back to work anymore, that the agency will not let me!''
She laughed then left me alone to get into character...
As I was walking in... she held me back... telling me to wait a bit, the conversation would have taken a little longer time.
Ok... I waited .. I could feel my heart beating wildly. I was taking a chance. I thought she could take the joke, but suddenly I started wondering if she could. Would she be mad at me? ... Oh .. she couldn't! ...
What if it fell flat? ... well too late for all this now!
I felt tears welling up in my eyes and walked quickly into the area.
She was not inside ... I sat with one of the children and continued to think about the plan.

I heard her voice out in the corridor. I walked out. My eyes half filled with tears.
''I must talk with you about something'' I tried to say in my most sad voice.
She looked up at me, being the darling that she was saw the concern in my eyes, and quickly sent the child she had just taken inside.

I knelt down next to her.
''C spoke with NAV and they said that I can't come back to work anymore'' A tear slid down my cheek.
She grabbed me and said,
'Jaemie you are so good at what u do. Don't worry, we will come visit you and we will keep in contact with you.''
She was hugging me hard and we both started to cry and she was wiping my tears away and wiping hers.
She continued saying that I was so clever at what I did and stuff and I couldn't bear to cry anylonger about something that I didn't have to...
''C wants you to come and talk with her''
She said ok and walked quickly into the office.

I walked back into the department snikkering ... and wiping my tears away. My nose was even running!!! Hahahaha!
I waited patiently to hear what was going to happen.
The plan was that she would go talk to C and C will let her know that it was a April's Fool Day.  The Chef was so excited to see and hear the results.

''JAEMIE!!!!!'' I heard  a loud shout!
I couldn't help it! I burst into laughter knowing that the cat was out of the bag. She walked into the department with her hands on her hips and her lips pursed. We sat laughing for a good while about it ... almost crying all over again.

This is definitely one thing that she will never forget!

Whey yuh say?
