How can I have fun on April Fools' Day? I'm glad you asked because there are tons of ways that you can make the 1st of April, one of the funniest days this year.
April, the 1st is an annual custom that is celebrated around the world, every year. It consists of the practice of jokes and hoaxes. It's generally accepted as the liars day, but lying made fun. In most societies around the world, lying is considered a bad thing, and it, well, in most cases it is, but April Fools' Day is the exception where all jokes that consist of lying are acceptable.
Why is that? Who invented this practice? Well, April Fools' Day is not an official holiday except in Odessa, Ukraine. It all started when Geoffrey Chaucer wrote the 'The Canterbury Tales' in 1392. In one of his tales, most specifically Nun's Priest's Tale, a vain cook is tricked by a fox. Following him, many writers and poets, at the time, got inspired by his writings and it became a popular custom, starting off in the UK, and then Ireland, and so on, the world itself.
The practice is controversial. The mixed opinions of the critics are wide. Some people that pranks, hoaxes, and jokes are good for your health and also considered a genuine practice, but some believe that it's a total waste of time and a clear 'bad joke'. It's up to you!
