April 1 is April Fool's Day or some call it All Fools Day, where people play all kinds of pranks, practical jokes and hoaxes. Its not really a national holiday, but many wonder where did all of this come from?
The earliest recorded connection between April 1st and practical jokes is in Jeffrey Chaucer's 1392 Canterbury Tales, where the vain Chauntecleer is tricked by a fox.
There a few other origins out there, like the Charles Dickens theory, or the Calendar Change theory...but no matter how it all started, people look forward to pulling funny pranks.
So, how many of you like to play practical jokes?
Who was the joker to put a frog on the teacher's desk or a thumbtack in a classmates seat?
Well, if you're brave enough, share some with us on this Day of Fun!
