Hello, Smarty Pants. Welcome to Trustee Trivia Thursday. Today we're laughing, tricking, and pranking our way into the silly, surprising world of April Fool's Day.

Before the jokes begin, a big shout out to Emily in Methuen, Massachusetts, who loves smarting to who smarted before bed every night because we make learning so fun.

Aw, that's exactly what we love to hear. So thanks for being such a great smarty pants.

Now, let's see if you can spot the real answers.

Question one. When is April Fool's Day celebrated?

Is it A, March 31st?

B, April 1st, or C, May 1st?

If you said B, you're no fool.

April Fool's Day is celebrated on April 1st

when people around the world play harmless pranks and practical jokes.

Question two. Which country is often credited with spreading April Fool's traditions in Europe?

Was it A, France, B, Brazil, or C, Canada?

If you picked A, that's pranktastically correct.

In France, people stick paperfish on each other's backs and shout,

Poisson d'Avril, which means April fish.

You're off to a pranktastic start.

Keep those brain gears turning, but right now it's time for a quick giggle break.
