With April fast approaching, many students are preparing for the onslaught of pranks they will play on others. April Fools’ is one day of the year where everyone is a target, except maybe your boss or professor.
Some students choose to attack their relatives, such as Hillary Morgan. She played a prank on her mother by placing a rubber snake attached to some string in the yard.
“I scared my mother, but to my surprise, I also scared my father-which made it even better,” she said with a giggle.
Andrea Fontenot had a not-so-funny prank played on her. Her boyfriend at the time called her while she was at Disney World and said he was breaking up with her. He later revealed it was a joke; she felt a little hurt.
“That is not a very good joke,” said Fotenot.
So be mindful of how the prank may make someone feel; they may not laugh with you.
