I leisurely walked into the locker room after finishing a great 5 mile run and chest/tri weight workout when I noticed I had missed 3 calls on my cell phone. I always check my cell phone after I work out because when Logan is at school I'm afraid they might have tried to call me while I was out of reach. I checked the missed calls and they were all from Wes.
Missing 3 phone calls from Wes is a very uncommon thing. Wes is so busy these days that he rarely has time to call me once a day, let alone three in the space of a half an hour. It startled me and I immediately called right back.
He quickly answered the phone and proceeded to tell me that he was on the other line and he was just trying to pass on a message to me. He told me that someone, a Mr. Lyon, was trying to get a hold of me. He didn't know who he was or what he needed but he was urgently trying to get a hold of me and needed me to call him back ASAP.
He said, "His number is blah, blah, blah, press 0 for the operator and ask for Mr. Lyon. Call him back right away. Now, I got to get back to this client, I'll call you back in a few minutes."
To be perfectly honest, I was shocked. Who was Mr. Lyon and why was he trying to urgently get a hold of me. I then got worried. What had I done, and was I in trouble for something? I felt like a child again, racking my brain for my past actions and which one might need reprimanding. I dialed the phone number and
it was hard to hear with all comings and goings in the locker room. Then I heard,
"You have reached the Dallas Zoo and aquarium...if you know your parties extension you may dial it at any time or press 0 to speak with an operator." So I pressed 0. After holding for a couple of seconds the operator answered, "Dallas zoo, how might I direct your call?" Now totally confused I said, "Yes, I am returning a phone call for Mr. Lyon."
Operator: "Oh honey, someone got you good."
Me: "What?"
Operator: "This is the Zoo...Mr. Lyon called for you? We've had a lot of Mr. Bears today but I think your the first calling for Mr. Lyon."
It was at this point I realized today is April Fools Day. Hope you all had a good laugh, because I didn't and Wes got the king of all nuggies tonight!!

Charlotte and I are cracking up! Charlotte said "that sounds like him". Too Funny!
Thanks for the laugh! That is so funny.
Love it! Wes is brilliant! I think I might have to use that one next year.
Oh my goodness! I can't stop laughing! What a tricky thing to do to you! Don't feel bad that you fell for it...I totally would have, too!!
Wes, I know a really good doctor who is taking new patients. You should call him and try to get in to see him. His number is "blah, blah, blah," and he is a proctologist. Oh yeah, and his name is Dr. Dover... Dr. Ben Dover.
That is awesome. I'm cracking up. I forgot about April Fools this year. Did Wes tell you about when I TP'd his room? I think I Saran wrapped the toiled bowl and put boullion in the shower head, too. He didn't notice. I think he thought he always smelled like that.
OK - that is a hoot! He got that from me, of course, not his father:) I remember when Hay got Wes' room. He DID always smell like that.
