April Fools Day jokes and pranks seem to be falling out of favor these days. Perhaps, in this day and age, it's because some feel the pressure of political correctness in that they could be sued or held accountable for a prank or joke.

@ciao_bella I really don't think that's the reason. At least for anyone I know. It's the kind of thing we did in grammar school. No one I know does this. JMO

Exactly, because we are all adults now, and that's the reason why we do not do immature pranks or jokes.

Aww that's neat. Wished I watched it. I remember years ago Jeopardy had some funny pranks going on.

We used to play little pranks on each other at home and sometimes in the office. No harm done!

Very funny @VanSleepy. Nice to hear someone else has done that.....

Yes. Just now by MamaWick. I wondered for a moment when I read her post's title, and then I thought, no, she won't do that to us.

Ha ha! She did.

Twice and they were good ones! I took Uber in to Bosto for my ophthalmology visits, retina and cornea specialists. I get in the car and the driver said "so you are going to MGH". I said no, I'm going to Brookline Ave". He said "the system says MGH so that's where I have to take you". I was about to demand that he let me out and was panicking because calling for another ride would have made me late and then the driver said April Fools! And then my niece picked up my great niece from school and said the teacher is coming here in an hour for a home visit. Huh???? She didn't know why, she was straightening up and putting toys away little Skyla said she was nervous because she didn't know why the teacher was coming. I kept saying I never heard of such a thing. So then they said the teacher just pulled into the parking lot and they were going to open the door and I should wait in another room. What?????? When they came in...with no teacher....they yelled April Fools!
