(no subject)
I came upstairs from the basement this morning having finished my workout. There I see Marshall standing at the back door, looking outside, obviously awaiting my arrival (his face was pointing outside but I could see his eyes were aimed at me).
Me: "Whatcha doing, man?"
Marshall (whispering): "Looking at the owl. Shhhhh."
There are at least two owls who live in our back yard. It's rare that we see them, but we often hear them at night and in the wee hours of the morning. So, it's a treat when we actually get to see them.
Me: "Oh cool! Where?"
Marshall (still whispering): "Up in that tree."
Me: "Hmmm. Help me out. Which tree?"
Marshall: "APRIL FOOLS'!!!"
Impressive. He genuinely got me. So I had to fight back.
Me: "Hahaha! That was a good one. But before you play pranks on your old man, you should probably work on cleaning that mess you made."
Marshall: "What mess?"
Me: "The milk and cereal you spilled on the kitchen floor."
Marshall (scanning the kitchen floor): "Where? I didn't make a mess."
Me: "APRIL FOOLS'!"
Scoreboard: 1-1
