In my heart, I love the idea of April Fool's jokes. An entire day dedicated to hilarious pranks? Sounds amazing.
In my brain, I just can't get behind it. I have a memory as a child...
Nobody remembers what happened after that, but I was apparently so upset that I never played an April Fool's joke again.
My mom was also traumatized by the one and only prank she ever played.
She put a plastic snake on a teacher's purse. Funny right?
Only the teacher was deathly afraid of snakes. Whoops.
So where did this day of pranks come from? I was surprised to learn it's pretty old and very widespread.
Even seemingly benign things concern me. My friend posted this picture of a prank she saw...
Seems harmless and Post-It notes are hilarious.
But, what if that person had an emergency? Or was running late to an important appointment?
SO MANY PROBLEMS!
