Warning...364 days early!

I'd like to send this urgent warning out for all who know my son!!!!! Do not attempt an April Fool's Day joke!!!! EVER!! Let me explain... Braeden got up to use the bathroom Saturday night and I remembered it was AFD. It apparently was the devil who whispered this joke in my ear because it has left emotional scaring on my sensitive son. I called him in the living room and said I had a surprise. I told him we were going to have a baby!!! I truly in my heart thought he would be upset. I really expected him to whine and complain, then I could say, "AFD" and all would be fine. NO...not what happened! He was so excited, saying, "he had prayed for a new baby to complete our family!" WHAT????!!!! I quickly told him AFD so he wouldn't get any more excited...and that sent the tear storm. He ran out of the room screaming,"THAT'S THE MEANEST THING YOU'VE EVER DONE TO ME!" and started crying on his bed hysterically.
The joke didn't go as planned. We got him back up, apologized and let him sleep with me.
He has forgiven me...Finally!
