[Belated] Easter wishes

I meant to post yesterday but I didn't get an opportunity to. I didn't the day before yesterday, either. Or the day before yesterday's yesterday.

So... this is either lack of opportunity/time or procrastination.

ME? PROCRASTINATING? No! I never postpone events for a later time. NEVER. (I hope you detect the heavy sarcasm in those last lines.)

Yesterday was Easter, although I ask myself as I write this why I am telling you. You certainly know the days of the week and you certainly keep track of time and you certainly have a calendar somewhere with those little subscripts near the date numbers telling you it is going to be Easter. So why, I ask myself, do I find it my personal duty to tell a perfectly-responsible person like yourself of yesterday's date. I believe it is solely due to the fact that I, although wanting to write something, have nothing to write, and thus decide to fill a post with stuff (<-- I need a thesaurus...) you already know.

I sincerely apologize for not posting a proper HAPPY EASTER yesterday.

For Easter dinner, we had lasagna. :) And cupcakes.
Why did I put that there?
That doesn't belong there.
Gah, I'm already too far into this to go back and delete it now.

So, I was thinking of searching thoroughly through the Bible for passages on Easter or fervently searching the web, but I guess that's not what I'm here for. I am here to fill your day with stuff about China that you may or may not particularly care about. Not to give sermons. Contact your local church for that. :D

Along with a Happy Easter, may I also say, Happy April Fools' Day!
April Fools is such an odd holiday. What's the point of it anyhow? What's the joy of going, "Your shoes untied..." then yelling, "April Fools!" when the victim looks down to see their shoes are certainly not untied. It's doubly confusing when someone claims that your laces are slack and you say, "Yeah, right!" when they actually are untied. So, as you can see, on April Fools you can't be entirely certain whether or not your shoes are or are not untied for real.
That's why I wore Converse slip-ons. I could just say, "I don't have shoelaces!" and laugh at that person's face.

The "April Fools" so far today have included the cancelling of today's school (Dad/Baba; my reaction: I really only half-heard him) and a fifteen-pages report due tomorrow (Mom; my reaction: YAY! ...What on?) As you can see, our family is not very skilled in the art of tricking.

Let's see, is there anything of importance to still note...?

Well, then, I'll discuss Matthew.
I always discuss Matthew when I don't know what to talk about.

Conversation example:
Friend of Mom or Baba (Adult): Hi, I'm [fill in name]. What's your name?
Me: Abby.
Adult: Well, hello, Abby. How old are you?
Me: Thirteen.
Adult: Oh, really? Nice to meet you. How are you?
Me: Good. Can't complain.
Adult: Yeah, I'm good too.
Silence...
Matthew: *runs past*
Me: Matthew, where're you going?

And then I slip away from the adult to get Matthew. Such is the situation here. Sort of.
New favorite word(s): Cum on/here!
He especially enjoys using this phrase while I am at the table. At dinner. Eating. However, when I am completely bored out of my mind to the point where I am thoroughly amused by a "wiggly" pencil, he doesn't bother saying, "Come 'ere!" Ironic.
