BEDA 1: April Fools History

Hello everyone

This is my first blog of April. Yes today is April 1st. It is also April fools Day, the day marked as practical jokes day on your friends, family, ennemies, neighbours or send them on fool's errand. ;) In which the aim is to embarrass the gullible.

Did you know that April was was counted the first day of the year in France, when it was changed to January 1 some people stayed with April 1, those who did were called "April fools" and were taunted by their neighbours.

I can honestly say I personally did not know that, never did any research on it.

In french is it called "poisson d'avril", the origin is the same as april fools but I believe the term poisson d'avril comes from the custom that kids stuck a paper fish to their peers back without them knowing so that it would make everyone laugh that he/she is walking around all day, as a fool, not realizing why people are laughing.

Basically it is about people making fun, or playing pranks, to the ones who don't accept reality or see it differently.

Though I don't agree that we should prank people who see things differently because we are all diffrent we shouldn't just try and fit in to the same mold as everyone else, we each have our own personalities, opinions and ideas. I don't like that this would be encouraging everyone to think alike as sheeps doing the same thing, thinking the same thing.

Anyways this is my first blog for BLOG EVERY DAY APRIL.

See you tomorrow.
