April Fools' Day

[Pamela]

There is no need to remind that today is April Fools' Day. Do you like playing hoaxes on your friends, family?… What is your favourite practical joke you have ever played on ...This day I have to be cautious so not to be entrapped. And you?

[Conchita]

I have nothing to fear from the Spanish front, since our version of April Fool's Day is on 28th November. It's called the Innocent Saints' Day (el D?a de los Santos Inocentes), which commemorates the killing of all the baby boys two and under in Bethlehem after Jesus was born.

In French it's called 'poisson d'avril' (April fish) and the traditional joke is to pin a paper fish on someone's back.

Hi Pamela,

How are you? Happy April's Fool Day

Same as Conchita, I have nothing to fear on this day, I no longer embrace it(and the people around me too, I guess)

And answering your quesions, I don't think I like playing hoaxes on my friends, but merely because I'm not good at it.

But my favourite practical joke on this day would be something that involves destroying my mom's plants and flowers. And when she gets mad, I would say something like "Do you love me or the plant?" Worked everytime. But of course this was like 15 years ago.

Now, when I accidentally knocked down her big pot of hibiscus plant when I was reversing my father's 4WD,(with two colours, pink and white, she's very fond of it) I was so scared I cried before I can even get the words out of my mouth, but she and my youngest sister just laughed at me. Fewh!

If it were still April 1, I'd tell y'all that I just won the lottery.

But it isn't, so I won't.
