April Fools!

This is one of the best times to have a toy store!
Snapping gum, fake dog poop, bug in the ice cube,
fake barf, finger traps, fake chewed gum,
dollar snatcher, hand buzzers, squirting chocolate, 
and a giant safety pin thru the nose. 
Harmless pranks for hours of laughs!

It is worth knowing that many different cultures have had days of foolishness around the start of April, give or take a couple of weeks. The Romans had a festival named Hilaria on March 25, The Hindu calendar marks the celebration of  Holi, and even  the Jewish calendar has has the celebration of Purim. Perhaps there's something about the time of year, with its turn from winter to spring, that lends itself to lighthearted celebrations.

This day of pranks and lighthearted Tom Foolery is celebrated around the world!

What's your favorite prank?
