Happy Wednesday Everyone! Not only is it Wednesday but also April 1st which makes it April Fools Day.
April Fools Day has 2 special memories for me.
When my oldest daughter was a toddler she always called April Fools Day ..
Akril Fook
she always made us laugh and even this morning we texted each other with a happy Akril Fook Day message.
My second special memory is of my dad. He was a prankster all his life and he loved April Fools Day. No one was safe from his jokes and pranks (some not so funny especially when he pulled them on my mom). Even though he's been gone for 45 years this day brings back smiles and laughter as we remember his love for April Fools Day.
I have no intention of pulling any April Fools jokes on anyone today but my guard is up just in case one of my kids or grandkids try
Are you a prankster and have any planned for today?

I've had more pranks pulled on me throughout the year than I've ever pulled on anyone else.

@Marilynda1225 - My brother was someone who loved to prank, my husband not at all.

I hope you enjoy any pranks pulled on you today. 
I don't like pranks and won't pull any myself.

I’m so glad you have those memories of your dad; those are priceless.
Back when my mom was sick I played a few April Fools Day jokes on my dad. It was such a dark time we’d take opportunities as they came to entertain each other. For instance, my dad drinks Diet Mountain Dew. One April first I poured 1/3 of the soda out, and replaced it with store bought lemon juice. He opened it, took one big swig, and then made the most sour face I’d ever seen! It was hilarious, and he thought so too.

I haven't pulled any pranks on April Fool's Day since I was a child. Thanks for sharing your memories.

That is cute what your daughter used to say.
I just refer to it as April the first.
We have a family member that had a stillborn baby on this day, and they dislike the April Fool's name, so we try to be mindful of that as we never know who else has something like that associated with the day itself.
I just wonder how it got its name, why not June Fool's Day or November Fool's Day, ever think about that?

I'm not much of a prankster. I'd rather include people in the joke than pull it on them. But I do have fun seeing what kind of silly posts companies make on social media for Akril Fook Day

I love to laugh but I don’t care for pranks, so I don’t pull pranks on anyone.
My paternal grandmother was born on April 1st. I remember her saying she was born on April 2st but she was no fool. And she wasn’t, she was sharp as a tack!
