April First

Today, I got a call from my school's vice principal at my desk. The conversation went as follows:

Vice Principal: Kayleigh, you must go to the principal's office right away.

Kayleigh: Should I bring a co-teacher?

VP: No, just you, you must go now.

K: He doesn't speak any English, though. Are you sure I shouldn't bring a co-teacher?

VP: Yes, just go now. Please hurry.

I rushed downstairs, thinking I was in some sort of trouble. I recently asked a very large favor of the principal, and I was starting to worry that he would rescind it. I also worried that maybe I was in trouble for something having to do with the new after-school English program we started this school year.

I reach his office on the first floor, only to find that the lights were off and the door was locked. I stood confused for a minute, before going up to the vice-principal's office.

K: The principal wasn't there.

VP: Yes, he is on a business trip.

K: But you just called me and told me to go to his office. (Cue me standing in stunned silence, totally confused at what was happening.)

VP: Kayleigh, today in the U.S.A. it is April Fool's Day. Very interesting.

Happy April Fool's Day, all!
