The April Fools

Danny and James are big fans of April Fool's Day.  They start in March and end somewhere in mid April.  After being the subject of some weak attempts at April Fool's jokes, I told the boys it was time to go to school.  As I backed the van out of the driveway I stopped and said, "Oh, wait, I forgot...school was cancelled today."  My gullible boys shouted, "What?! Really?! Why?" And I happily shouted, "April Fools!".  I felt guilty as I looked at James' crestfallen face but then caught a smile on Danny's face.  He, who could appreciate a successful April Fool's joke, simply said with a smile, "That was cruel, Mom."
