You really built the suspense with the events of this story, Crol. Thinking affairs, unemployment, poor Margie gatting fired, and Shelly ready to throw up, the ending was an interesting twist. - John

Jude,
Me too! I wouldn't have laughed until much later I fear..right after I knocked a few heads togther. I was butting my own head against a wall trying to figure where I wanted the second chapter of Mistaken Identity to go and set out to write a bit of humor..Guess the doom and gloom still got the best of me...Smiles, Carol

Man, you are so much better than I am, and the character is too! I would not have been good enough to accept that rough of an April Fool's. May be it is my self esteem, but that was Brutal! I would have turned and walked out. Not that I cannot take a joke, but that was a little over the top when you are stressed out and planning a wedding. Good writing and good job.

Comment from adewpearl
What an elaborate ruse for them to all plan together - and here I sure was believing she was just having the worst possible day EVER! I love the way the bad news piles on bit by bit, from the trivial news of her favorite sandwich off the menu to the distinct possibility of losing her job to evidence her best friend and fiancee are screwing around! You sure had me fooled, Carol :-) Brooke

Comment from dmjones
Hi Carol, I don't think I would be laughing at a joke like that. It was cruel. It was a well written story and fun to read but I was angry at the end that they took that far. I didn't see any spag.

Comment from animatqua
What a wicked April Fool's joke!
I suppose I shouldn't talk. Our baby was nearly six months old when one particular April Fools day came around. When I woke my husband up for the day, I told him I was pregnant.
The look on his face was priceless. What he said made me re-think the humor:
"You had me damned if I did and damned if I didn't. If I was happy, you'd be sad because you weren't pregnant. If I was sad, you would be disturbed thinking I didn't want the baby. Bad choice of jokes, Babe!"
