April Fool's 1998


My dad loved April Fools. His tricks were never spiteful or mean-spirited, they were always done in the spirit of fun. This one from nearly fifteen years ago demonstrates that perfectly. I know of at least two people, possibly more, that were singing out of their windows come April 1st.
