            April Fools comes around every year, and every year there’s more stories to tell. Even around the world this day is celebrated for its tricks and hoaxes. April Fools or All fools day is celebrated in countries like Italy and France where children will put paper fish on each others backs and yell “April fish!” Although April Fools isn’t a national holiday, it is a worldwide tradition all the same to play pranks on your neighbors.

            At Anna High School, pranks are the student’s specialty. Senior Adrienne Butcher pranked her friends on Facebook into believing she was having some kind of rare medical condition. Not something serious and deadly, but rare enough to get people’s attention. She posted a picture of herself with a swollen abdomen and then posted another picture with the caption stating “haha April Fools!” “I really like to trick people or mess with people a lot, there doesn’t have to be a special holiday for me to pull a few tricks from up my sleeve,” Butcher said. Senior Hunter Kendall also posted his prank on Facebook with a status update saying, “Just found out I’m moving to Missouri right before graduation..?” This was a hit because everyone was commenting with panic and nervousness as to why Kendall was leaving. Then the prank was realized when someone commented saying, “Nice April Fools joke Hunter.” But needless to say, Kendall got the best of them.

            April Fools day has been around for many years, but the question to how it started still remains. Some believe it is a celebration to the return of the seasons while others think it was the time of the adoption of a new calendar. Regardless to how it started, the way it is celebrated now remains the same all around the world. Getting a laugh by having a friend run a “fools errand” or playing a joke on a relative. It’s all laughs in the end.
