While it’s not clear when the trend of pranking others (although there is evidence of it dating back to the 1500’s) it is a day where people don’t have to be super serious. Many people around the world take this day to mess with a loved one or a family member. Some pranks consist of telling someone you did the opposite of what they told you, others consist of time and effort. April fools is really fun if you know how to pull off a prank.
