April fools?

I don't understand humans sometimes. All day mommy and daddy played tricks on each other and said "April fools!". They even played a few tricks on me too! Mommy would pretend to throw my mouse toy across the room really hard, but when I turned to see where it landed I didn't see anything. I searched the room to see if maybe it just landed silently somewhere, but mommy started to laugh at me and called me an April fool too!

I can understand the "fool" part, I did feel rather silly. But what kind of a fool is an April fool? By falling for a silly trick does that make me that special kind of fool rather than just a gullible one? I'll have to figure out a way to play this game with them and trick on them too somehow!

Chris came over again today! He saw my bandages were gone finally, and mommy told him all about my "self-mutilation",... how horrible! I didn't mean to hurt my paws, honestly! Chris understands, I'm sure of it.

I sat on Chris's shoulders while they watched their tv show. I carefully kept a lookout for any tricks mommy and daddy might try to play on Chris to turn him into an April fool as well. I guess they got tired of the game because nothing happened for the rest of the night. Not even after Chris left. Darn it, I wonder if they'll ever find the trick I planted under mommy's pillow?
