Why I Didn’t Write an April Fool’s Post

I meant to. I really did.

But I got sick last week, and my energy level has been slow enough to come back that my focus was entirely elsewhere until about six last night.

I panicked. I gave fleeting consideration to throwing something hasty together, but everything I came up with struck me as lame, abusive to my audience, or (frequently) both. The fact that most of it also wasn’t funny was also a factor in my silence.

I slept soundly, which is always nice after such a difficult decision. Then, this morning, I found this, an example of what you get when someone who’s smart and funny (which I hope I am, most of the time) has time and energy to spend on a proper prank post..

..and some of the best laughs are in the comments.

Great post, Michelle!
