April 1
April’s Fool Day
It’s that day. I will admit there has been times when I’ve been fooled by an April’s Fool joke. But it got me wondering about its history.
While it’s been around for a very long time, it spread throughout Britain during the 18th century. In Scotland, the tradition was a two-day event that sent people out on phony errands. Some would involve pranks by putting fake tails or “kick me” signs on people’s butts.
Over the years it has evolved, or has it. Some well-known companies have done pranks on April 1st leading to confusion.
No matter what happens today, question everything.
Ugh. I’m not an April Fool’s fan. I’m glad I’ve survived another year of it. Lol.
