April Fools

Playing a prank on Gladys for April Fool’s day, especially when it’s fresh on his mind after she filled the sugar bowl with salt, seems like such great revenge. How is it that she can do this to him every year and he still hasn’t caught on until his cereal is ruined. He vows he’ll be smarter next year, but of course, he will have forgotten once again.

Thinking like a male, he decides to retaliate and gross her out by putting a raisin in his nose and then kiss Gladys with the brown morsel hanging out of his nose. For effect, he stretches the raisin to make it hang longer.

George, serious by nature, is so out of his element that he can’t stand the anticipation of seeing Gladys’ reaction. As he approaches her, he tries to stifle a laugh and it comes out as a snort …sucking the raisin high up into his nostril.

When they return home from the emergency room, where the doctor had removed the raisin from his sinus, George attempts to assuage his bruised ego by snitching one of Gladys’ homemade caramel apples from the kitchen counter. Certain she didn’t notice him taking it, he quietly tip-toes to his man-cave to hide. Now feeling smug about his contraband, he sits back in his favorite recliner and takes a huge bite out of a caramel covered onion.
