I like April Fools Day. I think it is a funny sometimes forgot day. I don't remember actually doing a prank on April Fools Day, but I do know that I have made jokes beforey. I'm not exactly sure what they are though. I had no idea about the history of April Fools Day.
I do like April fools, although most of the time I forget about it. One time I took the frosting out of the oreos and replaced it with toothpaste, and then I gave to my sister. Also, one time I hid a metrinome in my sisters room, so she had to figure out where the clicking sound was coming from. I didn't know the history of April Fools Day.
April Fools Day isn't something I really care about. Pranks have seem to be getting less popular over the years. I haven't ever done a April Fools Day prank before. I have never heard the history of April Fools Day but it is pretty interesting.
I do like april fools day, because it is fun to mess around with your friends and familys and to see all the pranks people do to each other. I've done a couple of pranks to others, but don't really remember them much. I did not know the history if april fools day.
I like it because I like messing with people but this year I didn't do anything and nothing happened to me. Yes, I have but I do not remember what it was. No, I did not know the history of April fools day.
I personally don't mind April Fools Day, but it doesn't really mean anything to me. I don't necesarily get "pranked" by anyone on April 1st, so it really doesn't make a difference.
I like April fools day, Its a fun day where you can just mess with people and they dont get mad because its April fools. I have done a prank a couple times. I didnt know the history of April fools but I think that the history behind gives me a new perspective on it.
I don't mind April Fools Day since not a lot of people do pranks anymore these days. I have not pranked anybody for years now the last prank I think I did was mess with my brother but I can't remember what I did with him. I didn't know about the past history of April Fools Day so this was something new that I learned about.
While I do like April Fools day, I wouldn't say I love it or that it is one of my favorite holidays. I have done pranks on April Fools Day, however I haven't in a few years. I did not know the history of April Fools Day or how far back it went.
