[blparent] Garlic sundae, anyone?

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

On April Fool's Day, my stepson pulled a prank on me by not adding coffee to 
the machine when he offered to fix my morning cup.  So the coffee tasted 
extremely weak and bland, but I didn't want to say anything because it was 
nice of him to make me some.  I got halfway through the cup, and he started 
laughing his head off and asking what was wrong with my coffee.  I said I 
thought it did taste weak--and then he said April Fool's!  But I would have 
finished the cup if he hadn't broken in, just so I wouldn't hurt his 
feelings.  I'll have to think of a prank to do on him next year.

I still can say, the garlic sundae was worse than the coffee-flavored water. 
It took me all afternoon to get that taste out of my mouth.
