The best writers are the ones who write as if no one is reading. They just let it go, let their thoughts fly, let them run free, and they find themselves breathlessly trying to catch up.
I love to read writing like this. It makes me think I’m in on a cool secret that few other people know. This really has little to do with anything else…just a thought I had about writing today.

Today is “April Fools Day.” This morning, Evan came into my room while I was getting ready for the day. He tried to play a joke on me, and immediately blurted out, “April fools, Dad!”
I turned around, and with all seriousness, looked him in the eye and said,
“Evan, today isn’t April Fools Day.”
“Yes, it is,” he shot back.
“No,” I said somberly, “they changed it.”
He looked at me with wide eyes, and couldn’t believe anyone would do such a thing. He had fallen for it. I couldn’t hold it in. I cracked a smile, and he knew he had been HAD.
He flashed a huge grin at me and threw his body into me. I put my arms around him, and we laughed. It was great. I loved it.

What a GREAT way to begin the day and the month – with some April joy
