When I was a young child, April Fool's Day held a certain whimsy for me. With the rise of the internet and pranks as we know them being less lighthearted and more terrible, however, the day holds less appeal. I know many of us already don't believe anything we see/read/hear in this age of misinformation, so continue doing so on this day, where falsehoods are purposely posted as jokes. I previously made a post about pranks to be sure you do not do under any circumstances (fake pregnancies, fake deaths, and so forth) and would encourage you to only do a, "Prank," that is harmless and possibly even--dare I say--nice. Tell someone you forgot to bring them a coffee, only to reveal you got them a coffee and a pastry, for example. My point is, carefully gauge the truth of any information you take in tomorrow, and don't be a jerk either. Basically, good advice for any day of the year.
