How to kill your children

*phone rings, Alex dashes to catch it just in time*

Mom: Hey!

Alex: Hey.

Mom: Um. Did you take the TV with you?

Alex: What?

Mom: The TV. Did you take it with you?

Alex: What?

Mom: The big one. Um, it's not here.

Alex: Wait, what? No, I'm pretty sure it was there. I didn't take it.

Mom: Um. Are you sure?

Alex: ...

Mom: Because, uh, we got back, and you'd left the front door open, and, uh, there's stuff gone, and the TV's definitely gone.

Alex: *has coronary*

Mom: April Fools! Except you left the door open when you left. Don't do that again.

I'm trying not to laugh hysterically in the library (since that's what I'm reduced to, being computer-less and all). Oh man, that would have given me a heart attack.

Apparently she toned it down-- the original was going to be much worse, and then she got worried that I might stroke out for real, so she decided to go with just the TV.
