So I'm a very huge fan of the vlogbrothers on youtube. Hank Green is doing something called VEDA, or Vlog Every Day in April. So I was thinking about it and I'm gonna do that, except blogging, because I don't vlog. Basically this means that every day, no matter how stupid or crazy I'm gonna find something to talk about.
Today being April 1st, I'm gonna go with April Fool's Day. So basically this is this huge day where everyone pulls pranks. In high school this is a really really stupid day. I'm gonna go over some pranks I remember and why they are or aren't funny.
First, I'd like to share what my eighth grade homeroom teacher told us all. "Pranks are funny if they bend, but not if they break." Basically it's funny if it's reversible, but if it isn't fixable, costs money, or is too serious it is a bad prank.
So in my school at least this is the day when you avoid the bathrooms in the morning. You have girls running out in tears crying to teachers or boyfriends about the positive pregnancy test they took. Some girls go really far and even buy the fake ones. This is really, really stupid. It says you have no respect for yourself, and if you tell a guy this it is really scary. When your fifteen this isn't funny. When you are thirty this isn't funny. If it is actually possible for a guy to have gotten you pregnant don't joke about it. This is however, pretty funny if your a guy.
Last year my friend's mom called her and said she'd been in a car accident and was in the hospital. Again, so not funny. She was really driving late at night (nurse) and could have been serious about it. Car accidents aren't a joke, because of how serious they are in real life.
My older cousin was born on April Fool's Day. So when my aunt was pregnant with my younger cousin and he was due around the same time she called my mom at around seven thirty AM and said she was in labor. It was hilarious, because it had actually happened before and didn't matter. It was a Saturday. No one was late, no one was hurt. When she called five minutes later and said it was a joke they all laughed about it.
Other fun harmless pranks are silly things like "Happy anniversary!" "I can't wait to see what you have planned for later." "Dude I spent hours studying for the test last night. Are you ready?" Or even more stupid things like salt on a toothbrush, unplugging someone's mouse, flipping a backpack inside out, or poking holes in a water bottle.
I'm all for a good prank. I've been a part of a few. I think that some people don't understand that there are lines you can't cross. Some things can never be unsaid or undone, regardless of the knowledge it was a joke. So Happy April Fool's Day everyone! I'll have a few links to fabulous pranks below, and I hope life is as awesome as you are.
