April Fool's Come Early: How to Give Your Partner an Apoplectic Fit

I sent a text message to my boyfriend today that had this picture and the note "Panic Panic"

He called me within 8 minutes. I answered and heard him croak in a shaky voice "Rachel. . ."

I blurted out immediately "It was a joke! April Fool's! I wasn't sure if the picture would look real enough. Ha! Yeah, just a joke, got my period today, no worries!"

"Oh god. Hah. Yeah, that's funny. Oh God, I pulled the car over, I'm shaking. Whew. Oh my god. Hah. Good one."

"Sweetie? You're not at the top of a bridge or anything are you?" I felt like I was hearing what a heart attack actually must sound like. It was pretty cool. He said he was going to get me back and I said he wasn't allowed to make me cry.
