Is this an April Fool's joke?

Okay, so imagine what went through my mind when Josalyn comes home last Friday and tells me, "Mom, the 9th graders don't have school next Tuesday." Right! I was thinking, "sure you don't have school on April Fool's day." But she was telling the truth!

I guess they're doing some kind of testing and only the 10th through 12th grades are tested. I asked her why they weren't testing the 9th graders and she told me, "I don't know, I guess we're not smart enough yet!" I really don't understand why they would give tests to the entire school other than one grade, but hey, I'm not a teacher so I guess I'll just hush.

Dylan tried to get in on the action and got up, got ready for school, and then came to me and said, "Oh Mom, I forgot to tell you we don't have school today!" Imagine his dismay when I told him nice try, but I know you have school today. He told me, "Oh man! I was trying to April Fool's you!" That comment instituted a good chuckle on my part.
