April Fool's to you too DAD!

Once upon a time, a long, long time ago (let's not really say how long), Dad was stationed in the Philippines at Clark Air Force Base.  And on a particular day, say April 1st, he told his three kids (at the time!) that there would be no school that day because Mount Pinatubo was erupting.  Instead of the gleeful dance that he anticipated, tears flowed, wails sounded, and gnashing of teeth commenced.  "But, but, but...  All my books are there? What are we going to do about school?  What about my friends?  This is horrible!" (Note - I'm the main culprit and evidently I was am quite the nerd.)  "Um, April Fools?"

It took awhile, but eventually Dad was right.  School was closed, and the volcano did erupt.
