“Computer says no.”

As I have mentioned about 10,000 times, I am rarely on Facebook unless there’s a real good reason for it–otherwise Josh more or less follows everyone I know and verbally updates me so I don’t have to bother. Last night he called to the other room where I was sitting (crushed, realizing that my hate-watching of this season of “Girls” had come to an end) that I should get on Facebook and look at his sister’s old high school prom photo. So I did, gave it a “like” (Nerds in Love), and lo and behold, what’s this? A WEDDING ANNOUNCEMENT FROM MY LITTLE BROTHER?

He’s been dating the same girl for a few months, and they’ve been discussing looking at rings, but according to this FB announcement he was on a “road trip with his lady” (Vegas?) and suddenly her last name matched his and they were not engaged, but married. I commented “What???” and was about to add some obnoxious, ALL CAPS demanding questions when I decided to call my father instead for some answers (my mother works until midnight, but I knew Pops would be awake).

We spent a good 10 minutes shouting back and forth: “No impulse control–just like his sister!” and “Where will they live?” and “I just saw him three hours ago–he couldn’t have driven to Vegas that fast!” before I received a text message from my one and only sibling informing me that it was all an APRIL FOOL’S DAY JOKE.

This is why I don’t get on Facebook.

My father and I laughed for about 10 minutes after that. That brother of mine…! As you can imagine, I was ON GUARD today…no more jokes on this blonde, nope, no sirreeeeee. Sigh. Of course, the day’s not over.
