fooled

i had a good phone chat with a friend. it's been a couple months since we've last talked. and nowadays, i rarely have phone chats. my cellphone minutes per month have been, like, 70 minutes. what a drastic change from jr high/highschool. man, i was always on the phone back then, until my ear and hand became sweaty, until my mom yelled at me to get off the phone. haha, i miss those days...

anyways. happy april fools. i've never been fooled on this day.. except for today..

friend: after updating me about his stressful life, he lowers his voice and whispers, "so.. i have cancer.. and i don't have much time to live.."

me: didn't really hear what he said so i laughed and pretended like i knew what he said. "hahaha okay."

friend: "um.. did you just laugh?"

me: "...yea.. wait, what?! did you just say you have cancer?!"

friend: "yea, dude. why are you laughing..."

me: "are you serious?! dude, i'm really, really gullible. so you better not be joking right now."

friend: "why would i be joking about something like this? like i said earlier, i have so many stressful things going on right now.. with my new relationship, with work.. and this adds to it."

me: "oh my gosh. you're serious.."

friend: "yea, dude. i have anal cancer... and no, i did not do the nasty with a gay guy."

me: googling anal cancer. "i am soo sorry... when did you find out? how did you know? did you tell your family?" reading up on anal cancer.

friend: "i found out just recently. i went for a check-up and learned that something was wrong. i haven't told anyone... except you now."

me: oh my gosh, i can't believe this. "i'm so sorry..."

friend: "hmm... you know, i haven't talked to you in awhile and so, your voice sounds really different. it sounds like you got more mature. and i was thinking that after i had told you about my cancer, you would be like, 'eff you. yea right.' but you're actually believing me... i think i need to stop this... i actually don't have cancer."

me: "WHAT?! o.O so, basically, because you think i sound mature now, you decided to play a joke on me?"

friend: "hahahaha yeaaaa.... april fool's, i guess?"

...wow -.-
