where's barbara?

text conversation with my daughter on wednesday, jan. 5th:
(mind you, she is almost 21 yrs. old. ;0))

ash: hey, i left barbara (her stuffed manatee) and my new measuring tape at home. Could you bring them friday (to add's game) please?
me: (later that night) i can't find barabara....
ash: weird. maybe i did bring her here (to school). who won the game?
me: lone peak of course. they are good.
ash: shoot.
me: let me go look again........wait for about 5 minutes......
me: you won't believe where i found her....under dad's pillow. looks like he likes her, too. =0) looks a little slobbery, too.
ash: oh my gosh. i laughed so hard. please ask him why he has her. hahaha
me: after the florida trip he has a new appreciation for manatees.
ash: hahahaha...how did she get there though?
me: maybe dad was sleep walking....i don't know
ash: oh my gosh. that seriously cracks me up. maybe he was trying to hide it because he thinks i'm too old. haha
me: no...maybe he just missed sleeping with a stuffed animal.
me, mark, and addison.......lots of laughter because she really is believing all of this!

next day.......
me: did you want me to wash babara before i bring her to you?
ash: you can wash stuffed animals!!? yes please. she's so gross. like five years of drool.
me: and several nights of dad's drool.....gross!
ash: hahaha...that still cracks me up.
me: hahahaha....me too!
same day.........(to her dad)
ash: so i hear you stole babara and have been sleeping with her.....haha
that night (thursday)..............
i wasn't going to tell ash for a couple of days to see if she posted something on her blog.....but i had to tell her......i couldn't tell if she knew we were joking or not......
call.......
me: so, i wondered if you knew we were joking about barbara
ash: moooommmmm! i totally believed you! i am glad i didn't tell my friends.....i am so embarrassed.....i am blushing 10 shades of red right now!!
me: (laughing a lot!!!) i can't believe that you believed me! i wanted to wait to tell you to see if you would blog about it.
ash: i was going to blog about it, but i didn't want the whole world to know that i sleep with a stuffed animal.
me: (still laughing) well, april fools! we couldn't wait until april to play a joke on you because you handed us a perfect opportunity to play one now. we love you!
ash: thanks a lot mom! i am still blushing!
oh my! i haven't laughed that much in a long time! i just can't believe she fell for it!


april fools in january!


love ya, ash!
