April Fools Day is a really awful holiday. It is full of lies and pranks. Who invented the holiday anyways? The best prank of all time in my books is when my brother-in-law filled my sisters lotion with mayonaise. Gross! She fell for it and lathered it all over her body. She spent many days trying to scrub that oily smell off. April Fools is always celebrated on April first and many countries celebrate it. It is not a proclaimed holiday but many celebrate it including my brother-in-law. If you are gullible then you will most likely be fooled on this day. There are many tricks that one may choose to play on this day. The famous saran wrap on the toilet is a big one. Along with taping the faucet, this will make it so the water sprays out. Whatever you choice of trick, make sure you do your research so that April Fools Day turns out to be a memorable day.

I did not pull any pranks this April Fools Day. I wish that I would have because it makes the day more fun, as long as you are not the one being fooled. In the past I have pulled some pretty good pranks. When I was in Middle School I ripped up my drew red marker over me, messed my hair and put little rock all over my body. I looked like I had been in a serious accident. I went to the elementary school that my mom teaches at and my friends carried me in. I made myself cry and my mom fell for this trick. She was ready to call the hospital and she was seriously worried about me. I didn't want to take the april fools joke too far so after a few minutes I jumped up and said "April Fools!" My mom was shocked and angry. The next April fools joke I pulled was last year. I had gotten a pregnancy test and colored it red. I showed my husband and family that I was pregnant. They all believed me so I must be a pretty good actress.

When I wrote the first paragraph with out using the word I it was hard. Evert sentence I thought of had I in it. I had to look at the encyclopedia for some ideas. I don't remember the last time I wrote a research paper. I don't know if I ever have written one. This will be a new experience for me. I did not know that some teachers don't like you using the word I but I could see how that could be useful to a research paper.
