Spaghetti and Meatballs?

Look a little closer.
APRIL FOOLS!!!
I tried out my new cupcake book called "Hello, Cupcake!". It has a whole section in there on April Fools cupcakes. This was the easiest, but the kids still loved it. The meatballs are Ferrero Rocher chocolate balls, with strawberry jam for sauce and coconut for Parmesan cheese.
Speaking of April Fools, I got a doosey played on me. I received an automated, that's right, a computer automated call stating I had been issued a speeding ticket for going 53 mph in a 25 zone by the Federal Automated Radar Tracker or F.A.R.T. (yeah, I know, I can't believe I didn't catch on yet). It all sounded very legit, giving me the time, date and location of the violation and that the fine would be $360. Who's going to question a computer automated voice, right? By now I'm panicking thinking Rob is going to kill me and yelling at the kids to get out of the room so I can hear the message. The message continued to state that due to fine amount I would need to schedule a court appearance. It asked me to please press 1 to speak to representative. I did so and was put through to a very nerdy (sorry, Brad) sounding rep who repeated the info and asked when I wanted to schedule my court appearance. I got all the way through the scheduling and was about to hang up when Rob's brother, Brad, announced himself.
Thanks Brad for nearly giving me a heart attack and using your computer genius to play a joke on me. I'll be talking about this for a while.

That's a great April Fools! I can see you frantically trying to 'shoosh' everyone and take careful notes. Classic!
