Fore Warning: This is going to be a LONG blog!!!
As most of you know I've been working for my cousin in American Fork since July 2008. "The Boss" & I are the only full-time males of the office and there are 6 females that officially "rule" the office. This being said...you can only imagine MANY of the conversations that take place in the office...most of which are geared towards the feminine side of life. There is one office member in particular that holds NO reserve in letting it be known that her & her husband (Jenna & Andrew) are trying to bring a "little one" into this world!! It's become common talk in the office to guess the order in which the Ladies will become pregnant. I find it VERY hilarious!!! But I know it's stressing "The Boss" to the max!!!
Anyhow...on with the story...for the last month or so the Ladies of Foundations have been planning an April Fool's joke to play on "The Boss". With all the pregnancy talk around the office the Ladies decided to play a pregnancy April Fool's. Alyssa decided she'd be the one to "pull The Boss' leg". It played out perfectly!!
For the last month or so Alyssa's been talking about how she missed her "friend". We've been teasing her that it's because she's pregnant, but she's been adimant that it's not possible, however we kept harassing her.
So...a week or so ago she found out that an acquaintance of hers is pregnant & Alyssa approached her to see if she'd be willing to provide a "positive test" for us. She was hesitant, but after a little persuasion gave in & acknowledged the hilarity of the situation.
So...Wednesday morning (April 1st) Alyssa came in to the office & stated that she was sick yesterday when she got up & that she wasn't feeling any better this morning. We harassed her that she was "preggy" & Emily told her that she was going to go next door to Albertson's & get a pregnancy test. After much debate Alyssa conceeded, but she said that she had forgot her cell phone at home & if she WAS going to take the test that she would need to have it so she could call her husband. Of course it was agreed that that would be appropriate.
Of course the whole time she's gone we're joking about her going someplace to get a "sample" but then we'd also joke about how disgusting that would be to have the "sample" floating around in her bag when she came back, so we blew off that idea.
When Alyssa returned we joked with her a bit & then Emily & I went next door to Albertson's to get the "test". However, on the way over Emily mentioned to me that Alyssa picked up a test when she (supposedly) left to get her phone. Alyssa had her acquaintance take the tests & gave them back to her & Alyssa gave the tests to Emily in the original packaging so that The Boss wouldn't recognize the difference. {Man...I just realized how long this story is getting...sorry if I'm boring you but it was HIL-AR-IOUS!!!!}
Emily & I returned to the office, gave the tests to Alyssa & she disappeared into the bathroom for what seemed like an eternity, but was actually only about 10 minutes. We began to worry that maybe she really WAS pregnant...especially when she first came out of the door. The look on her face was SOOOO convincing. She came out of the back of the office with her hand over her mouth & she was shaking uncontrollably...at least until she got past The Boss' desk, out of his line of sight, then she got the BIGGEST grin on her face. She grabbed her bag & walked straight out the front door to her car without looking back!! She drove off!!!
The look on The Boss' face was unforgettable!! He was a little hesitant at first...he even asked: "do you think someone could act that good?!" We played off of his hesitancy for about 1/2 an hour. Alyssa called & spoke with Emily & they continued to make it sound like she was struggling but that Alyssa would return to the office shortly.
When Alyssa returned we continued to talk about it, but not too much because we "knew" how sensitive of a subject it was. (RIGHT!!!!) We kept it going for about an hour & then...out of the blue...Alyssa made a comment similar to: "wouldn't it be funny if I left to get my phone & had someone else take the test?!" The Boss wasn't paying too much attention to what was going on, but you could tell her heard what she said because he immediately stopped was he was doing, paused where he was for about 30 seconds, then turned around & aksed: "are you serious?!" We all just screamed "APRIL FOOL'S" and EVERYONE had a good laugh the rest of the day!!!
Oh, the fun times I'm going to miss at Foundations!!!!
LYB!!!!!
