April 4. Here I am. Oh, I forgot this is April for you, Tricky. Yes, I tricked you. Did you hear anything I was in here? Yes, I did, and I was very, very sad. I really fooled you then, didn't I?

Oh, you did. And if you got a lot of April food tricks up your sleeve for everyone else? Oh, yes. I got a good one for my father. What's that? Well, I helped my mother bake a cake today, and I made a little cake for him.

And instead of frosting, I put toothpaste on top. I would love to see his face when he bites into that cake. Why don't you come to dinner tomorrow? I'm afraid you might put the sugar in my salt and the salt in the sugar.

And I might not enjoy my dinner. Oh, I wouldn't do that to you. You promise? I promise. On cross your fingers. All right. My fingers are uncrossed. I promise. Very well, I'll come. Now will you read me the funny?
