April Fools!

April Fools' Day is observed on April 1 and is sometimes referred to as All Fools' Day. On this day, people play harmless pranks on others or try to get them to believe ridiculous things.

Write about the best April Fools' Day joke that you have played on someone, or write about a joke you would like to play on someone. (Remember that your joke must be safe and not hurt anyone's feelings, and you must write at least 5 sentences.)
