I have a little different story for April 1. My birthday is tomorrow, April 2nd, but every year for as long as I can remember my sis-in-law calls me on April 1st and sings Happy B'day to me. Then goes on to say what a mean trick my mother played on me, telling me I was born on the 2nd when I was really born on the 1st. Then says she understands why, telling me it saved me from all the ridicule over the years by having a b'day on the 1st. Right on schedule, I got her call about an hour ago. Soon as I picked up the phone she started singing to me. When she got done I asked her when she got a cat, told me she hadn't and wondered why I asked. I told her I'm sure she now has a cat because I just heard a bunch of caterwaulling over the phone and couldn't hear a word she said. All's well until next year.

As for my sis-in-law, I love her to death, but she's ornery as cat pee. Maybe that's why we get along so good.
