Background Information
April Fool's Day
The ancient Greeks would have loved April Fool's Day. They so adored being clever. I can easily imagine the ancient Athenians concocting their plots and chanting their victories, and the ancient Spartans rigging their barracks and roaring with laughter. A special day put aside just for trickery, with everyone forewarned that others were out to fool them...the challenge of it would have greatly appealed to the ancient Greeks.
But, they did not create this holiday. The history of April Fool's Day only goes back to the 16th century.
Today, all over the world, April Fool's is a day where tricks are played on people in a spirit of fun. Anyone who plays a mean trick is just being mean. For the rest of us, April Fool's Day is a challenging game of trickery!
