BEWARE OF FOOLERY THIS EASTER
By Ben Radstein, Staff Reporter
For
the first time since 1956, April 1 is Easter Sunday. For the first time since
last year and every other year, April 1 is April Fool's Day. If you think Easter
is too important for anyone to care that it isn't only Easter, you are being
naive. I have heard my son and nephews talking, and I will be on guard. The "Hen
Grenade" pictured here is one of the nastier things I have heard the boys
talking about and snickering. Who knows what they are going try? The little
pranksters in my tribe are certainly not alone.
Before you crack open a bright lovely Easter egg, consider that it might be un-boiled. A colored raw egg cracked on the edge of the coffee table will make quite a mess! Before opening a plastic egg to find the surprise inside, point it away from your face, and be sure you have your heart medicine handy if you use any. It is likely to be a spring snake! All those delicious looking peeps, chocolates, jelly beans and other treats may be chili pepper flavored tricks. "Here you go, Mom. Happy Easter." ... "Auuuugh!" ... "April fools!"
If 2018 is not enough for the tricksters, we will also have to be careful if lucky enough to be still living in 2029 and 2040.
