I too would like to know what was the planned use for the rubber arm. Reading this I felt like I was standing there with you leaning against the wall for stability as my eyes watered out of pure laughter, listening to your dj Julia recant her story. Thanks for the smile.

A very funny tale indeed, I have to admit I had forgotten it was April fools day and my day went by without any pranks being played, unless you count the children being there usual selfs.

Cute story. I felt a little sorry for Julia because I, too, have never managed to pull off a prank, but have often been a victim of one. I'm just too gullible. No spag issues.

Comment from Norzah
That's a beautiful gag for an April Fool Day and you've presented it in a very effective way. Julia and Brent must be laughing away at their own pranks if they read you post. But I miss a more detailed description of the
goat's and kid's reaction to your laughing away while holding yourself against the parlor. Did they laugh as well? I miss hearing from them through you. Lol. Love your story all the same.

Comment from redrider
Wonderful job! Very cute story. This line made me laugh out loud:
"It seemed the arm had grown legs and scurried away."
I was a little puzzled by the term 'parlor' in relation to milking goats. I thought maybe you keep the goats in the house? Perhaps a little explanation of that would have alleviated my confusion, which took me out of the story for a moment.
Your mechanics were almost perfect and the story had a nice flow to it. Thanks for sharing!

PS Yes, parlor is the term for the more modern way to milk both cows and goats, where the animals enter in a group and leave to return to their barn or pasture! Sorry about the confusion.

I enjoyed and found it to be a nice read. I did not notice any snags or any misspellings rearing their ugly heads up. Good work. And thanks for sharing...

Janilou,
It's a cute story. Too bad it backfired on poor Julia. Yes, I'd like to know what she was going to do with the arm. Thanks for sharing.

I enjoyed the story. My family (all of us) love to play April Fools joke's and May Fools jokes, etc. It was a very entertaining story. Thanks, Jeanette
