april fool's

i date a very funny guy.

so, it's april fool's day, right? i have been waiting...watching out for some kind of april fool's joke. work went very smoothly. huh. doctor's office didn't pull any pranks. hmm *wink*

i pick up my phone after work. "one missed call." my caller ID says, "ben. 12:32pm"

very strange. he rarely ever calls in the middle of the day. especially since the middle of the day for me is 10am his time. i get a little worried, call him back and leave a message.

no word for the rest of the afternoon. until, this evening...checking my email online. i send out an IM.

bek: hey, luv

ben: hey, did you get my phone call?

bek: yeah.....what's up?

ben: well, it's been a depressing day. i just got back from my AMT (or some abbreviation i have yet to memorize)'s office.

bek: good? bad?

ben: i'm pretty mad.

ben: they said that somehow they messed up the casual bases, and they pulled people at random from a bank of us with late start dates for pilot training.

bek: they pulled what?

ben: i'm going to nebraska now.

ya'll, i totally fell for it. and as he keeps talking, trying to convince me that somehow he'll sort things out. really doubtful. not sure if anything will work out. dissapointment.

i'm crying.

ben: hey, pick up your phone!

i start crying even more when i hear his voice. lol, and i still didn't believe him after he said,

"happy april fool's!"

"that's NOT FUNNY!" (at this point i start laughing and wiping away tears....heck, it was funny! it was a believeable story!)
