We're all of us stars - We're fading away - Just try not to worry - You'll see us someday

Poisson D'Avril! Otherwise known as April Fool's! Oh my god, are you missing out in Canada. All my memories of April Fool's consist of taping paper fish to peoples backs. BO-RING. Those of you who don't understand that quote please go to www.homestarrunner.com directly after reading this blog post and go to the legal section. Then wait a little while, I promise that something happens.

Well, as you probably know, the fool's day in April fell this year on a Sunday. Perfect. That means that we have all of Saturday to prepare. *Devlish laugh* Emma, Juliette and I stayed up 'till 1 am preparing. It was so much fun. We started by taking all the bowls (an essential part of a French breakfast) and hid them in my closet which we locked with a key. Then we tied all the chairs to the table and locked the door that the parents use every morning to come downstairs, this way they have to go around the long way. We attached the garbagecan so that it wouldn't open and taped down all the lightswitches and the computer mouse. We put that transparent plastic film that stretches over the toilets and tied the door shut. We set up trip wires in front of Marie and Charles' door and pushed a huge wooden chest in front of the door that the parents would need to use the next morning. Then we went to bed.

That morning, the parents had woken up and already left. The two girls and I had decided to meet at 9:15 and proceed with caution. We started downstairs and opened the door to the kitchen, there was a cup of water balanced carefully on the top of the door, fortunatly for us, it didn't fall. In fact, we didn't even notice it until five minutes later. Well, the parents had de-rigged all of our tricks and the water was just the first sign of theirs. They had changed all the clocks, they had hidden our food, taped drawers, filled the milk container with water, etc. Every time you thought that it was over, another thing would prove to be misplaced or rigged or what not. V. v. amusing. Well, we finished eating and set up the parents tricks for Charles and Marie. Charles was the first one to wake.

Emma, Juliette and I were in the dining room when we heard his door open. All we heard was "What the..." before we burst out laughing. He came down and entered the kitchen, this time the water did fall. So, so, so, so funny. He pulled the chairs, searched for the bowls, searched for the milk, the chocolate, the bread, the whole deal. Marie was lucky. Well, once every one was up, the teams were clear: Marie and Charles against Emma, Juliette and me.

Well, Charles locked us downstairs while Marie took apart our rooms and through all our stuff out the window and then Charles changed all the settings on the computer, creating passwords for everything so that we couldn't access anything on the computer. It was Juliette who cracked one of the codes and Marie told me another. For one of the hints, it said "The sentence that is very true" Yeah, it was "Charles is the best".

And then some small stuff like hiding all my toiletries and putting clothespins in my shoes and vinegar in peoples water and nice things like that. We had a lot of fun. I think that the best part was when the water fell on Charles. That was hilarious. Well, I have to go eat now but that's why I didn't write yesterday (the passwords). I miss everyone!

Love Emma
