I like playing tricks on people because the last time I played a trick on my little sister at the beach. She wasn't ready to swim yet and she was making a sandcastle and I had my beach bucket filled with ocean water and I poured it on her head. She got a little mad and chased me around a bit but then she was calm after running around for a while but never caught me. and I pranked at night when she was asleep I took my toy lizard and put it on her face and she screamed so loud that it almost woke up my mom and dad. But it was still very funny to see her face like that.

On April fools day my sister filled up a balloon with water and put it on my brothers chair and covered it with an old pillow then my brother actually didn't looked at the chair and sat on it. And SPLASH!!!! the water balloon exploded and my brother was so angry she hit my sister.It is funny. But not the part she hit my sister. I don't like playing triks on people because it might hurt their feelings. Also I like saying jokes to cheer people up.

I cannot play tricks on people but I would like to watch other people playing tricks. In my country there are no any day like April's fool day but there are some kind of these playing tricks in the party. I haven't played any tricks to somebody because I haven't know how to do it.
