April 1st ;)

Happy first day of April, a.k.a April Fool's Day. For the pranksters out there, this your day to shine. I'm not a big fan of this day as many people play pranks that are mean or can cause people to get physically hurt. It's fun to play the prank, but not so fun to be on the receiving end. My kind of pranks are the ones you see in Prank It Forward where they're actually doing something good for someone - making it rewarding for both the prankster and the person being "pranked."

The internet is full of videos of people playing pranks. Ashton Kutcher's Punk'd ran for 9 years where they played pranks on celebrities. Candid Camera actually began all the way back in 1947 on the radio under the name The Candid Microphone. Juste Pour Rire is a French-Canadian version of Candid Camera and is quite funny. Most "victims" are good-natured and seem to take the pranks in style. The History Channel has a quick video about the possible origins of April Fool's Day that's worth a watch.

I leave you today with a cute prank from Just For Laughs/Juste Pour Rire:

In happy laughter, Adrienne :)
