April Fools Day in Montreal or Fish of April????


HAPPY CONFERENCE EVERYONE! And with conference comes April Fools Day. Here in Canada, they have an interesting and unique sense of what is funny. On this day, you are supposed to slap a paper fish on someone's back. This is supposed to be funny. I thought it a bit dull until I applied one to dad's back. He had a few errands to run and came back with it stuck on his brief case, seriously NOT knowing how the fish ended up on his back. I actually called him to come home from the office as it was slow. While he was home I asked him to scan something for me and while he was doing so I applied it to his back. He was shopping and a man came up to him and said, "do you know you have an April fish on your back?" Which he replied "what is that"? And the man proceeded to peel the fish off dad's back and handed it to him. It was so funny. Even dad laughed. And when I told the Sisters about it who just happened to call they thought it was hilarious. I guess this proves just one thing. We either need to get a life or maybe the simple things of life should be appreciated and embraced. That is the way the Quebecqois live. They live life BIG. I love you all and have an uplifting and spiritually filling Conference. I can't wait.
