Fooled

I got home from work last night, exhausted and sleep deprived, and found this in my inbox:

Dear Greg,

Something important has come up. I have just returned from the OB/GYN and it looks like I will be unable to have children.
Dan and I have been talking and we were wondering, since there's room in there now, if Ani would carry our child. I don't have her e-mail, and we were too shy to ask you both in person, so if you would think it over and decide as fast as possible, as we really want to get started.

Love, Your best friends in the whole world,
Dan and Leah

Now you, dear friends, can probably tell right away that it was April Fooling, but to Ani and I, in our state of delirium and exhaustion, it was a realization of our worst fears. We have to do this again? It took twenty minutes on the verge of tears to figure out that Dan and Leah wouldn’t ask us for something like this in an email with phrases like “since there’s room in there now,” and “decide as fast as possible.” We eventually (sort of) went to sleep with no worries, but I was a little anxious until I called them and verified the relevance of yesterday’s date. Jeez.
