Loki: The dog is being mean.
Me: Arna is never mean.
Kuri: Yes, she is. She said you had a suitcase out.
Hiyu jumps to the top of the dresser.
Loki: She can’t trick us. We know it’s April Fools.
Me: So you looked at the calendar?
Kuri: It took a while to get the calendar to the floor, but it is definitely April Fools.
Hiyu: Um…guys…look.
Loki: That’s a suitcase!
Kuri: You’re meaner than the dog to pull that… that suitcase out.
Me: I’ll just be gone a little while.
Loki: Look! I can fit. I can go too.
Kuri: Look! I fit too!
Me: Don’t worry, guys. Alicia is going to look after you. She spoils you more than I do.
Hiyu: I’ll never forgive you.
Kuri: I bet I can claw this suitcase to smithereens.
Me: Not going to happen and you guys are going to be fine.
Loki: You’re sure it’s not April Fools?
Me: It’s not a trick.
Hiyu: Hey, you guys, let’s go catch those giant spiders in the kitchen.
Me: April Fools?
Hiyu: You’ll see.
