April Fool’s Day

It’s the first of the month and that means I earn interest on the money in my bank account. This month, I earned 53,466 bells.

Dear Jeff, We appreciate your business and hope that you are satisfied with our service. You have earned 53,466 bells in interest. -BANK OF NINTENDOIt’s April Fool’s Day, so Tortimer is outside town hall to give us a gift. It’s a leaf.

Tortimer: It's a leaf!It resembles a piece of furniture in your pockets, since it has the same leaf icon. But when you put it in your house, it literally is that leaf icon. The joke’s on me. April Fool’s.

A leaf item on display in my house.I walked around town watering my flowers. I heard the sound of a flea jumping around, so I looked and found an itchy Del.

Del: No one knows me like you, right down to my follicles! That's how you pick off fleas so well, yes yes!Next, I took the bus to the city and checked the marquee for new emotions. No Frillards, so no thanks.

Clerk: What show would you like to see today?I also made a rare stop in the Happy Room Academy. I saw my own room (the one with the gorgeous furniture shown above in the leaf picture) was the model room. Lyle especially liked my gorgeous stool.

Lyle: All the Gracie furniture? In one room? Never seen it. Old Lyle especially liked the gorgeous stool.Back in Forest, I noticed that some of the trees are pink now. This is because it’s early April and cherry blossoms are out.

A pink tree near Bob's house in Animal Crossing: City Folk (ACCF).I talked to Egbert and he told me that Bob and Del are fighting.

Egbert: Have you heard the news? Bob and Del are in a HUGE fight right now.And last but not least, I stopped in to check on Kid Cat. He seemed to be feeling a bit better, but he said he was still a little sick. So I gave him some more medicine.

Kid Cat: Anyway, I must be getting weaker if I have to take medicine like this, on top.Despite connecting my Wii to the internet and starting up my game repeatedly, I still did not get the DLC for April today. Hopefully I’ll get it tomorrow.
