April Fool's Day

April Fool’s Day


April Fools Day is on the 1st of April every year. It is believed to have originated from the 16th Century when the French New Year was moved from April the first to January 1st in accordance with the Catholic Calendar. As word spread slowly about the change, people who continued to celebrate the New Year on the wrong date, this being April 1st were called fools and and tricks played on them. Now days it appears to serve little purpose yet to have some fun and in some cases cause national confusion. Pros and Cons about April Fools Day is that you need to be careful about who you prank, because not everyone likes to be the butt of the a joke. The person who is the victim may or may not handle the prank if it’s embarrassing, humiliating, or if it’s a form of bullying. April Fool’s Day can be fun but sometimes it can get out of hand. I didn’t really pranked today. Or at all during my lifetime lol.
