I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with April Fools’ Day.\u00a0 I don’t really find humor at another person’s expense to be funny.\u00a0 Maybe that makes me lame, I don’t know.<\/p>\n

Now, a totally harmless prank, like filling someone’s cubicle with balloons, that’s funny.\u00a0 The prank war<\/a> between Jimmy Kimmel and John Krasinski and Emily Blunt?\u00a0 Hilarious.\u00a0 But intentionally freaking someone out and making them worry or making them angry, that’s just not fun to me.\u00a0 I just get embarrassed for the person being pranked.<\/p>\n

I also like seeing what internet companies come up with.\u00a0 ThinkGeek <\/a>is known for its random April Fools products.\u00a0 I wonder how long it takes to come up with that stuff.\u00a0 And then sometimes the products become real, which is awesome.<\/p>\n

But no pranks here.\u00a0 I’m lame like that.\u00a0 I was tempted to claim I had just adopted six more cats and was embracing my status as a crazy cat lady, but I was too worried people would think it was true.\u00a0 8 cats in my house is probably too many cats.\u00a0 And way too much fur.<\/p>\n

Though I might wish Google Panda were real.<\/p>\n
