Fool Proof

Happy April Fool's Day, everyone!  Some of us are doing what most people do on April 1st...nothing really out of the ordinary - while others, however, are using today’s date and continued tradition as an excuse to pull some of the most ridiculous, albeit clever pranks on everyone from family, friends, grandparents, teachers, classmates…no one is off limits on April 1st because hey, that’s what we do on April fools day because it’s not only just allowed, it’s encouraged!  But have you ever stopped and asked yourself why we actually participate in this anyway?  I’m guessing that anyone who’s actually pranking people and participating in this tradition really don’t care to ask themselves why they’re doing this, but us history nerds love it! So, why DO we partake in this weird, odd, and kind of obscure “holiday” - wait, is it a holiday?  Either way, where the heck does all of this come from?  Find out today on this Missing Chapter Short!
