Stubborn-Town Fools in the making
A Silverbloggers Blog Of The Month
The hospital in Stubborn-Town was rebuild, actually, a new one was put on the hill. It was the reason my family came to this town. Dad got a good new job there. I was 8 years old.
In the local newspaper there was much talking about all this. Many where not happy at all that they abandoned the old buildings. Every now and then a local "celebrity" (often enough politicians) had to give another rambling about all that. Until a few years in, the day came and it was decided that it will be renovated to be used as a retirement home.
Happiness and agreement all over. The newspaper wrote about the good news and in the coming weeks, started to explain all the steps of the what's, when's and if's. The whole town was kinda moving to that beat, even at school we had to talk and write about it.
In all that information river one day the local news informed us, that in about two weeks on a Wednesday the Swiss army will come with two helicopters to move two small buildings. Wow, that was a huge thing... we got even off from school that day.
On the day at the announced time you could see a lot of Stubborn-Town being there to see that spectacle. Then...
No helicopters, ha.... just the photographer of the local paper and one of the "celebrities"
to inform folks that it wont be, since it's the first of April.
Hahahahahaha... we all where not careful enough to see that one coming.

Un Blog du mois de Silverbloggers
L'hôpital de Stubborn-Town a été reconstruit, en fait, un nouvel hôpital a été construit sur la colline. C'est la raison pour laquelle ma famille est venue s'installer dans cette ville. Mon père y a trouvé un bon emploi. J'avais 8 ans.
Dans le journal local, on parlait beaucoup de ce chantier. Plein de monde n'étaient pas du tout contents qu'ils aient abandonné les vieux bâtiments. De temps en temps, une "célébrité" locale (assez souvent des politiciens) devait faire une autre divagation à ce sujet. Jusqu'à ce que, quelques années plus tard, il soit décidé de rénover le bâtiment pour en faire une maison de retraite.
La joie et l'entente sont au rendez-vous. Le journal a parlé de la bonne nouvelle et, dans les semaines qui ont suivi, a commencé à expliquer toutes les étapes du "quoi", du "quand" et du "si jamais". Toute la ville s'est mise au diapason, même à l'école, nous devions en parler et écrire sur le sujet.
Dans toute cette rivière d'informations, un jour, les nouvelles locales nous ont informés que dans environ deux semaines, un mercredi, l'armée suisse viendrait avec deux hélicoptères pour déplacer deux petits bâtiments. C'était énorme... nous avons même été dispensés d'école ce jour-là.
Le jour même, à l'heure annoncée, on pouvait voir une bonne partie de Stubborn-Town venir assister à ce spectacle. Et puis...
Pas d'hélicoptères, ha.... juste le photographe du journal local et l'une des "célébrités" pour informer les gens que ce ne sera pas, puisque c'est le premier avril.
Hahahahaha... nous n'avons pas été assez prudents pour le voir venir.

I think there is more to this ...
Hehehe... indeed. But that story is for another day. 😏😎
Oh my word @mondoshawan, that was a good one, and the whole town fell for it!
I've been trying my utmost to remember some April Fool's jokes played on me, but can only remember some that were broadcast from our local radio station, and some on the morning newspaper headlines.
I think it's time I started writing about this, as some memories may then come back!
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday Dan.
Hehehe... that story wasn't actually finished. But that's for another day.
Sunny Sunday to you too dear Lizzie
