My sister turned on the TV in the middle of a news broadcast. A reporter was describing the sad plight of a family that had lost their life savings, because their marshmallow farm had gone bankrupt. She was feeling really sorry for these people, and she repeated the story at work the next day.
It hadn’t occurred to her that the date was April 1st, and that the reporter was doing a story for April Fool’s Day. She took a lot of good natured ribbing from her co-workers that day. How could she have believed that marshmallows grow on trees?!
After a full day of snickers and snide remarks, she returned home to find every tree in her front yard festooned with fluffy white marshmallow.
I think next year she’ll pay closer attention to the news broadcast on April 1st!
