April Fool's, Mommy!

Scene: It is 7:40 AM, Stevie and I are on the highway driving to his school. I am mentally preparing for a trial I have today. Stevie is singing his favorite song from Idina Menzel's new CD. Suddenly, it gets quiet.

Stevie: (quietly) Mommy. Mommy, I don't feel well. I think I'm . . . .

The next thing I hear is the sound of retching and vomiting all over the back of my car.

I freak out and look in the backseat while yelling: WHAT???!!!

I am met with this face. And a giggle.

"April Fool's, Mommy!"

He's four years old. By the time he is 14 he will be having elephants delivered to me while I am in court.
