I’ve never been one to perpetrate jokes on any day of the week, but I do like some of the humorous things that show up in the media. Also, my dad—who is a source of effortless puns—tends to outdo himself today. Although the exact origins of the April Fool’s Day tradition are murky, one early reference to it is in Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales, where the Nun’s Priest’s Tale describes two fools on April 1. Other April notes: the first week of April is Library Week and also Read-a-Roadmap-Week. April 30 ends the month of April Fools appropriately—it is National Honesty Day.
