"Bonjour! Je m'appelle D'Avril...
Poisson D'Avril!"
April Fools' Day Origin-
There are several explanations for the origin of April Fools' Day, but here is the most plausible one. April 1st was once New Year's Day in France. In 1582, Pope Gregory declared the adoption of his Gregorian calendar to replace the Julian calendar and New Year's Day was officially changed to January 1st. It took awhile for everyone in France to hear the news of this major change and others obstinately refused to accept the new calendar, so a lot of people continued to celebrate New Year's Day on the first of April – earning them the name April fools. The April fools were subjected to ridicule and practical jokes and the tradition was born. The butts of these pranks were first called poisson d'avril or April fish because a young naive fish is easily caught. A common practice was to hook a paper fish on the back of someone as a joke. This evolved over time and a custom of prank-playing continues on the first day of April.
...Be prepared. I like old customs and paper fish sound fun to me!
Qui! Les enfants sentiront le poisson d'Avril aussi! Ha! Ha! Ha!

Hey Sarah! Just stumbled on your blog whilst randomly blogsurfing. I was overjoyed to read about your love of potatoes: I love potatoes too, and you know what, they love me! let me explain: Whenever I eat potatoes, I distinctely feel a wave of well-being flowing through my body, like a mild buzz of goodness... I have mentioned this to friends over the years, but they have laughed it off and looked at me as being a little cranky, not that I let that worry me, though I must admit to now being more carefu as to whom I share my love of potatoes with! Another spin-off from potatoes: If you ever get a small burn, cut open a potatoe and rub it on the burn. The pain will disappear within minutes and the skin heal at record speed. Keep on blogging!
who's baby are you pinning paper fish on? LOL!
interesting...and by the way...j'aime le francais (with a cedille, but i never find it here...)
