Everyone needs to be ready for today! Put your hard cap on and do not jump! It is April first, and you know what that means! APRIL FOOLS DAY! There are many pranks to be played on others today but here is a little history on why today has to do with fooling others. Well, in the 16th century, this is the day France would celebrate the beginning of the New Year. Pope Gregory changed the calendar in 1562 to the one we use today. So pretty much that is how it all started. There isn’t much to it, but how much involved could a day with pranks be? I figured there would be something silly or crazy, but nope, it is just sort of thrown in there for a day that everyone can play pranks on others.
There are many jokes to be played on this fun little holiday. My little brothers teacher said she was going to put food coloring in their milk cartons. Hopefully little Kenny does not flip out! I remember when he drake soured milk; he washed his mouth out for a good 5 minutes. Here are some that I have heard and some that have been played for years.
I heard on the radio, to purchase a jelly filled doughnut, get a straw, stick the straw into the doughnut and suck out the fillings. Then, get a bottle of catsup and squirt it into the straw and fill up the doughnut with it! Whoever takes a big ol’ bite out of that is going to freak out!
If your parents go out on April First, before they come home, get some plastic wrap (has to be clear) and stretch the plastic wrap all around the frame of the door, when they come home, they will run right into it!! It is defiantly something to see! At my house, by brothers tied clear fishing string to the front porch pillars and one evening I was in a hurry and ran right into it! Needless to say I hit the ground hard, got up and let my siblings know that I would do something way worse to them if they decided to pull that prank on me again. The boys never did it to me again, imagine that! Hahaha
There are also “gifts” you can purchase and give them to someone! I just recently figured that one out. If you know someone who smokes, there is an exploding cigarette pack. For an older person that smokes tobacco out of a pipe there is a pipe that will shock him or her when he or she goes to smoke it.
Just seeing the shocking surprise look on others faces is enough to make me giggle! Sometimes they know what is going to happen, but they forget it seems like, and all of a sudden they have that look on their face, screech, and jump backwards! It is all for fun and young children all the way up to adults all love this small holiday!
I do not normally pull pranks on anyone for April Fools Day; however, this year is an exception. I am fully prepared for any little pranks the kids at work can think up to try and pull on me, so I have some pranks for them. They love word searches and getting prizes so one of the pranks is giving them a word search and telling them the first one done gets a prize. However, none of the words are in the word search. I also have many other pranks planned and I hope they fall for all of them.
