Reminiscing April Fools

April Fools Day; The only day, perhaps, that many of us are labeled clever and tricky. Also the only day that we can lie to people without being thoroughly busted, and turn the clocks back without getting the third degree. The day that, in the words of Mark Twain, "we are reminded of what we are on the other 364." But unless we want to be unpleasant people, I recommend you follow the following guidelines:
Do not make people...
a) cry.
b) blow up
or
c) hate you for the rest of their life.

Here are five things to keep out of your clever April Fool schemes:
1. Explosions
2. Rubber bands
3. Screams
4. Mass Destruction
5. Reports that you and Sara made up and brought to school to tell Paige were due, then running ahead and asking your teacher to pretend were due also. It's not a good idea when your teacher tells Paige they are worth 200 points on her grade, because Paige will get teary eyed. Your teacher will get worried and tell her it's a trick, and you won't even be able to yell "April Fools!" with Sara.
