At 11 pm., April 1st, I received a call from a female friend. She said, "I want to tell you something that I don't want anyone knows about it." I was in the middle of writing my book review for McCourt's class, so I didn't think too much about why she want to tell me or even what "day" it was.
After I said yes, she proceeded in telling me, "I am pregnant. I don't want the child. Can you accompany me to the hospital?" Then she began to cry and murmured about what she should do. Here, I need to explain a little bit about the story's background. First, we don't have any sexual relations, which means I am not the child's father; second, that female friend is also a foreign student, and it is quite horrible for this thing to happen on us, for we don't know anything about America's law or its medical environment.
I said nothing but my willingness to help her. To be honest, I was worried not only about her, but also about myself, for I didn't know what to do in the hospital.
At 1 am., April 2nd, she called me again. This time, she was not crying anymore. Immediately after her first sentense--"promise me you won't be angry with me"-- I knew I was fooled. Yah, now I realized it was April Fool's Day.
The most interesting thing was that after I told the whole story to my friend Brandon, he said to me, "On April Fool's Day, I always receive a lot of calls from girls saying they are pregnant. Of course I know they are fooling me. You are so gullible!"
Suggestions to these "gravidas":
1. Don't say you're pregnant on April Fool's Day, for even if it is real, no one will believe you anymore.
2. You guys should change April Fool's Day to Non-marital Pregnancy's Day.
