No April Fools' jokes

Yesterday was April Fools' Day and, much to my relief, my brother, mother and I did not play any jokes on each other. I was glad about this, as I don't find April Fools' Day funny; really, a day every year on which people play obviously-fake jokes on each other is predictable and boring.

About the only bright side to it is that, as pointed out on social media, it is the only day of the year when people critically evaulate news articles to determine whether or not they are fake. Perhaps people ought to do this every day.

Oh, and I have complained about April Fools' Day here before. At any rate, rant over!

  1. I don't like April Fool's either. April Fool's jokes were played at the full time job. UGH!

    1. They're childish and tedious and not something I appreciate anymore.

  2. My mother tried to get me by saying she (and my wife) left the restaurant we were eating at while I was in the bathroom. It didn't work.

    1. At least that one wasn't particularly harmful. Still, you saw right through it.
