funny story.

So, I just have a totally random story to share today that I thought was funny, which I hope that I can easily convey the humor in writing... here it goes!

#11. I’m gullible – Every morning, I sign on to my email through Google, check the weather, and Facebook. Well, this one particular morning, early in April, I sign on to check my email. I notice that Google has decided to change the heading on their website to Topeka (even if you already know about this, it’s probably still worth hearing) and to accompany the change, there was an article explaining why. I read the whole thing, which stated that Topeka, Kansas changed their name to Google, so Google had graciously changed their name to Topeka. At that point, being someone who absolutely LOVES Google, I was furious. I thought Topeka sounded ridiculous! So, I went on with my morning rituals, signed onto Facebook, and made a post. I ranted about how “I am never going to call Google, Topeka. That’s so stupid… I mean would you walk around saying, “Well, why don’t you Topeka it!?!” and so on. At that point, I wrote a good long paragraph on my status and then signed off in a huff. I then proceeded to the kitchen to make myself breakfast and my mother called to ask what day was my friend’s party. I looked at the calendar and noticed that low and behold, the date that day was April 1st! I was so embarrassed that Google had tricked me but impressed with the prank; I ran back to the computer and deleted my status. I thought that was an excellent April Fools joke and I couldn’t stop smiling about it because I had never gotten tricked before. For the rest of the day my Facebook status was “It’s April Fools Day… and I guess I’m a real fool!”

More to come soon, as I found a bunch of really awesome personal reflection questions that I would like to answer. It's simply more about me but maybe the questions will give you something to ponder and the answers will provide some entertainment, as well.
