Hello, Mike!

Well, your first name should be Pacala in order to fit the story. )
Is that an American last name? Is it a common one?

My last name is Pacala, does that mean I am a fool, or the fooler?

Wow, Liliana, in a way you are forced to joke ,
“if you do not play a joke on somebody on 1 April, you will be the one who is going to be fooled the whole year”. That sounds like a threat to students: ” If you don’t do it, ……”
You must be very disciplined and loving fun.

It was fun reading what you have written here.

Thanks, Philip!
It seems German people have their own April Fools’ Day too, but I don’t know much about it.
My pupils and I would be curious to know if it is celebrated in other countries than Romania, the UK, Italy and Germany.
Any help from our partners?

So it seems I was wrong thinking April Fools Day was an English-speaking thing !
It is good to see that silly stuff takes place all over Europe !
I remember going to a mardi gras festival in Nice, France, and seeing all the locals walking up to strangers and squirting them in the face with foam from a tube. (They called it “Le Bomb”) It was great but I thought to myself : In the U.K., where there is a totally different sense of humour, some people would use it as an invitation to fight ! “Oi, why are you spoiling my clothes with that stuff ?”(Which, of course, is really sad)
Well done Liliana

And this is your joke for all of us, isn’t it?
Well! Someone said your post is awful and not interesting!
Guess who said it!
But… “Pesce d’Aprile!”
