APRIL FOOL'S DAY
It is a yearly tradition or custom on April 1 of every year where people make or play practical jokes and have fun trying to make friends believe what is not true. Some people make silly pranks on their friends.
An example would be telling your friend that he/she has a gum on his/her hair and when he/she believes it that he/she checks his/her hair, then you shout, "April Fool!". This may not suit everyone's humor but it is important to only do it to people you know, especially those closest to you and not just anyone to avoid conflict. Also, remember to keep the joke light and not offensive.
How about you? What joke will you make on April 1st?
