Got you! Did not!
I got the scoop on what April Fools Day in kindergarten consists of. Apparently, five-year-olds spend the day in conversations like these:
KID A TO KID B: There's a spider on your back, April Fools!
[both kids double over in laughter]
[twenty seconds later...]
KID B TO KID A: There's a hundred twenty million monsters behind you, April Fools!
[both kids double over in laughter again]
There about a hundred and fifty variations of this joke and I got to hear them all while fixing dinner this evening.

Aw! My wife pulled one of those on me: after I came in last night - "you're letting ants in again, look, there's one on your pants." Our kindergartener heard that, got a look that said she suddenly remembered she'd told me the day before she was going to pull a prank on me and blurted out:
"You're letting rats in again!"
Rats?
