April fool’s day is fast approaching, and many people have already prepared their pranks and tricks, most people have also had very comical experiences, here are just a few people sharing theirs.

I asked Adele Akpan what plans she had for April fool’s day, she replied.

“I am planning on tricking my mum! My brother still has some fake blood from last Halloween, so my plan is for my brother to fall down the stairs. We will then squirt some fake blood on his head, after that I’ll call mum and wait to see her reaction.”

What other pranks have you played on other people

“Well, unfortunately I forgot about April fool’s day last year but the year before that I offered to make my brother some tea and instead of me putting in sugar I put salt instead! The look on his face was priceless!”

Why is April fool’s day fun?

“I find it [ April fool’s day] fun because it is a whole day just made for pranking people and laughing. Many people don’t have very fun lives but with this one day they get to have a lot of fun and happiness. Also this year Easter Sunday is on the same day as April fool’s day so I maybe can combine the two to make the ultimate prank.”

I then asked Amara Akpan what plans she had for April fool’s day.

“well my plan is too wake one my kids up really late at night or early in the morning. I will give them a slipper and tell them it’s their grandma. Since they’ll be tired, I think they’ll actually think it’s grandma.”

What other tricks have you played on people ?

“Well, I always forget about April fool’s day. So much so that I nearly missed my exam in university! my roommate told me that the French exam was cancelled so I decided to take a nap, next thing I remember one of my other friends were waking me up telling me that the exam is starting in five minutes! But I told her that the exam was cancelled, and my friend reminded me that it was April fool’s day. Luckily I didn’t miss the exam!”

What do you think of April fool’s day?

“I think that this particular day is really important because it laughter is the soul’s medicine and it feels refreshing just having a laugh with family and friends. Also it is always fun to be a little mischievous.”

I also interviewed Arman Parsa, he says that “I’m going to wake my friends up with an air horn! It will be hilarious!”

“I remember when a friend of mine tricked me into looking down into a bottle because he told me that there was something at the bottom. As I looked down into it he squeezed the bottle, so water squirted out of it into my face! It was not very fun at all.”

The ideas that the interviewees gave me were really cunning! Hopefully you could come up with something even more so! Have a lovely Easter and a great April fool’s!
