Aubrey is getting wise to our plans for tricking her each year. This time we had to enlist outside help. Luckily her band teachers were quite willing. Merrill made a chocolate mold of her tuba mouthpiece. We arranged with Mr. Bartley and Ms. Smith to replace her actual mouthpiece with the chocolate one and have Aubrey discover this at the beginning of band class. We're told she was very surprised. After finding the homemade mouthpiece Aubrey didn't immediately realize it was chocolate. She thought maybe something bad had happened to her loaner instrument and she was going to be responsible. Her thoughtful teacher let her squirm a little longer by saying "Aubrey, what have you done?" After a few (seemingly long) moments the teacher pulled the actual mouthpiece out of his pocket with an attached note that read "Happy April Fool's Day love Mom and Dad". Aubrey was able to drown whatever lingering concerns she had in chocolate.
