During the month of April it is declared that you are a fool. That is to say, we are fools. The fools of the month are nothing more than gullible folk, pressured into participating in foolish acts. I can rephrase it and rephrase it, however, I only need to declare that April Fools Day is a big pile of rubbish that only fools partake in. < That right there is declared to be a dangling preposition but is it's usage only to make angry, those who hate bad grammer? Or does using bad spelling drive us into deep holes in the ground, only to come up for air that is as sweet as proper usage. I don't believe that we can escape a single day without some type of tomfoolery. All of us are children in some way or another. Children are better behaved on April Fools Day because its their parents that dare to teach them the ways of the foolish. They become tainted with our desire to fool and be fooled, and trick and be tricked. They are bamboozled when a rainbow is claimed to be outside and also double. They run like mad-men and mad-women over to the window only to find out that nothing could be farther from the truth and now, grandma is in the corner snickering and pointing her finger directly at this poor child who has no idea what just happened. Their self-esteem has either gone out the window or their confidence has been intrigued to behave mischievously for the rest of time. And thus, the tradition of April Fools Day shall live on or die in that exact moment. The same moment that will someday create an ouch or a tear, a fluttering heart or a gasp of breath. It's also the same moment that instills fear for those with self-esteem so very low, that it will have them cowering behind invisible walls and create closed-eye syndrome that could sell prescription drugs as easily as saying the words, "April Fools!"
