Yes, I do know that it's mid-May already and the April Fools Day came and went. But it's never late for some good writing, is it? If you've never heard about GMail Paper, The Left-Handed Whopper or successful spaghetti plantations in Switzerland, do not worry - you've only missed a good laugh. But April Fools Day isn't always about having good friendly fun. You should never joke with real serious things - or intentionally make your best friend sad. Anyway, here's what our students thought about the whole April Fools tradition.

I don’t play tricks on April 1st, because I hate it.
Someone always tries to fool me, and I never remember that I should’t believe.
Once my teacher told us that we were going to see the president, but outside she said it was a lie. It was raining and I was wet and angry. So, I still hate it.
I’m not always mad if someone plays tricks on me, but it’s not always funny.
If my dearest friend fooled me, I wouldn’t be very happy about it.
Sometimes April Fool’s day can be okay, even fun, but some people just can’t stop early enough. Scaring people isn’t funny, I think. And disgusting things aren’t nice, but little, not hurting jokes are fine. And I like nice surprises!

Several years ago, on April Fool’s Day, my friend told
everyone that she was moving abroad with her family. We were all terrified, but
luckily she told the truth pretty fast.
Personally, I don’t like April Fool’s Day at all. I am pretty gullible and don’t always see the difference between true and false. I am bad at inventing good tricks, too. That’s why I don’t usually fool other people on April 1st. And because I know how annoying it can get sometimes.
I don’t go mad about a trick played on me unless it goes too far. Sometimes the people who play the tricks don’t know to stop in time and it just gets annoying. Some people also go on too private and serious things and it’s not too funny anymore. You need to know who to fool and how to fool.

The famous tricks in Finland are the fart pillow trick
to your teacher and changing the chalk in your class in to a candy that looks
just like a chalk. Those tricks are old and not really even funny, but they can
light up someone's day. If I do tricks on April Fools day, they will be easy,
nothing too difficult to do and nothing that someone will flip the buck about.
I have played tricks on my teachers and friends, but
they’ve mostly failed. And I have been tricked, but I never fell for the
tricks, because they were quite sloppy. I wouldn't like to be tricked by my
dearest friends, because I don't want to get mad.
April fool pranks are funny, but sometimes they get
too far. For example I remember this one trick when this boy accidentally ”cut”
his finger really bad. Then he started to scream and his mom freaked out and
called 911. Then the boy licked all the ketchup off his hand and yelled ”April
fool's mom!”. He was grounded for a long, long time...

Usually people do funny tricks on April 1st. I have
done just little tricks for my family. But usually they have remembered what
day it is, so the trick has failed.
April fool’s day isn’t a big thing to me, but I think it is ok. Of course some people use it for bullying. That’s very wrong. For some people the day is a nightmare.
I’m not mad if someone plays a trick on me. Of course it depends who does the trick and what’s it like. If it’s humiliating it goes too far and I don’t like it at all.
I don’t remember, if anyone has ever played me a trick. So I can’t tell anything about it.

For me April first is just another day. Of course I
like pranks and jokes, but I’m too lazy to do them. My sister and cousin love
April fool’s day. One year my cousins did the rope prank. When we came home
there was rope across our street. Me and my sister didn’t get it, but our dad
got it right away. We were laughing so hard when our cousins came and yelled
“April fool’s!”
When we were in primary school our principal told everybody that the school’s washing machine was broken so the plates were hot so we would have to eat with our gloves on. It was funny at first year, but then he told the same joke every year. Altogether my friends and I pranked a lot in school, but almost everytime we failed.
I think April fool’s is fun and all, but as always someone will ruin it by doing something really stupid and someone will get hurt or something.

The jokes that people pull on each other are usually
some classical fools to relatives, friends or family. I like to play tricks on
other people myself, because it’s a lot of a fun and it is easy to trick
everyone. But sometimes these jokes can hurt someone. They’re still usually
harmless jokes like for example:” The lottery joke.” I have fooled my family
many times in a row now and it was a sweet trick. I’m always prepared for April
Fool’s Day, that’s why no one has ever got a chance to trick me. I usually
figure them out quite easily. I’m never mad about others’ jokes or tricks, because
they don’t harm me. I wouldn’t mind being fooled, but that breaks my record for
not being fooled yet. Some tricks really get too far and often someone gets
hurt.

On April fool’s day people do tricks to their friends.
I do some tricks on April fool’s day. I put a neat on my teacher’s chair. And I
switch the chalk to chalk licorice. And I sit on the neat by myself. When I was
little and I was in the day care center the ladies told us when we went to
dinner that there is an ice cream car outside. All kids ran out fast. And we were
so busy to get out that we didn’t put shoes so we ran out only with our socks
on, everybody. And when we get out there’s no any ice cream car anywhere. The lady
came out too after us and shouted: April, April fool’s! We all were sad when we
went back inside without ice cream. But anyway it was the greatest trick that is
ever done to me and I will remember it always. :D

April Fool’s day is an international joking day.
People do tricks on each other and try to plaind side each others for example
to look somewhere. I have done a lot of tricks, but when I’m getting older I don’t
do tricks so much as when I was younger. I did tricks like I put a piece of
tape under the tap and when you opened the tap all of the water would come on
you and make you wet. Also I’ve been joked by my friends and family, but
usually when you realized that someone has done a trick for you, you just
laugh. The idea of April Fool’s day isn’t that you do tricks for other people.
The idea is that you have fun with your friends and maybe do some kind of silly
tricks. Well sometimes it could go too far, but don’t worry your friends just
want to have fun.
