Spring Rules April fools

Some how April fools has sustained a popularity and notoriety despite it's "unofficial holiday"tag by the government. April 1st, the one day where anyone is vulnerable to be pranked, and anyone is capable of becoming the "prankster".

I had just walked into my spanish class on a friday morning a little bit tardy, already tired and in the wrong state of mine from my wild night before hand. And my teacher mentioned to the class the prospect of having class on saturday morning at 8 am because she could not make it into class on monday. I was furious when I heard this news, wanting nothing more then to sleep in on my lovely saturday off from school and football.

Upset and deflated, I eventually told the professor I would attend class in the morning. The entire class erupted in laughter as soon as I agreed to come. I was confused, did I say something wrong, or did they know something I didn't know. At that moment I glanced at the black board where my professor rights the agenda and the date.

It read April 1st.

Right away, I knew I had just been the butt of a prank. While I was embarrassed for my vulnerability and position as the one being pranked, I felt a bit uneasy. This sure didn't stop the rest of the class from laughing at me. This uneasiness quickly vanished into happiness as the reality that I could officially sleep in on saturday had returned to my concious!

Sure it's inappropriate to laugh at people being pranked when the prank is harmful, but on April Fools day, ANYONE IS AN OPEN TARGET.

Laugh away, it's appropriate after all.
