Look! Up There On The Ceiling

In passing on traditions to a child, it's always worth getting to April 1. "Look! Up there. Just in the corner of the ceiling. Do you see it?" She gazed and stared. "The ears. Look again! A rabbit coming through the ceiling." She looked again. "Yes. I see it!" I told her she was an April Fool and she smiled. Then I gave her a pinch and a punch for the first of the month, and said "No returns." She gave me her Grr face. Moments later, running around naked, she told me she had played a trick on her Mummy. I don't know what it was, but I suspect it was telling her that she was unable to zip up her (invisible) dress. She pinched and punched her mother, but did not say "No returns." So, I gave her a punch and a kick for being so quick. Got to love the start of a new month, and April too.
