"Ahahahahaha" was my reaction when I realized we were a victim of this once in a year practical joke thing. It's April Fools' Day. I forgot.
April Fools' Day or All Fools' Day is a day celebrated in various countries on April 1. The day is marked by the commission of hoaxes and other practical jokes of varying sophistication on friends, family members, enemies and neighbors or sending them on a fool's errand, the aim of which is to embarrass the gullible.
Traditionally, in some countries, such as the UK, Canada, Australia and South Africa the jokes only last until noon, and someone who plays a trick after noon is called an "April Fool". Elsewhere, such as in France, Ireland, Italy, South Korea, Japan, Russia, The Netherlands, Brazil and the U.S., the jokes last all day.
