parking citation?

On April Fool's Day, I got a call from Isaac saying the Accord had died in a park while he was studying for his accounting class. He had called his brother to come and jump it and it hadn't worked. He came home and after a few hours he went back to the park to try to tow it home with his dad. They came back to the house saying that the car wouldn't even come out of park and that we had received a parking citation...needless to say...I wasn't very happy. Isaac started reading it out loud and I didn't understand why he wasn't upset til I finally clued in that it wasn't a real citation..

When he read the part about Fleas of a thousand camels infesting your armpits is when I clued in that it wasn't real. Well, we drove the Odyssey over to jump the car and it started right up....thank goodness...I guess it was an April Fool's Day joke that ended up working out okay.

Too funny. I'd have probably had a huge freakout before realizing that it wasn't real.
Cute updates! Those cupcakes are darling and congrats on getting Andrew in a big boy bed! I can't believe you've only got a little over a month to go!

I have to say, that it probably would have taken Tory saying "This is FAKE!" before I figured it out. I would have just been trying to figure out a nice way to tell him that I was sooooooooooo very upset with him. Glad it was only a joke.
