APRIL FOOLS!!

So I was just thinking. Today is April first.... and you ALL know what that means! April Fool's day!! But I wonder - what is the real purpose of this day? I mean, why do we have a nationally (possibly even universally, I don't know) recognized day of the year that is dedicated... well... to pulling pranks and lying?? I mean, don't get me wrong, I personally think some of the jokes pulled off on this day are hilariously funny, and I don't really think there's anything wrong with them as long as they aren't inappropriate. But still, what's the reason behind it? And for that matter, how did it ever get started? My guess is that there was some twelve-year-old boy who was frustrated with always getting yelled at by his mother for pulling some trick, and decided to make an excuse for himself!  Seriously though, if anyone knows, I'd be interested in hearing why it really started. ;)

Those are my thoughts for the night - now I'm going to bed. Goodnight world!
