Will you pull any pranks today?

In case you forgot, today is April Fool’s Day.

IT’S THE FIRST day of April – also known as April Fool’s Day.

If there was ever a day to look over your shoulder, second guess a brand’s social media post or read a friend’s text twice, this is it. Even the classic jokes might make an appearance, so you might want to double-check that nobody has tied your laces together or turned your bag inside-out.

It’s also worth remembering the unwritten rule: the jokes and tricks are traditionally only acceptable until noon. Anyone who tries their hand at a prank after that is the one who ends up as the April fool.

So, we’re wondering: Will you pull any pranks today?
