Musings of April

A confusing memory

Us, taping a fish

Notes:

It is customary in Italy (and apparently France too) for children to tape the drawing of a fish to the back of an unknowing victim as a prank for April Fool's, which we call "pesce d'aprile" (literally: April's fish).

I still have no clue why we call the pranks "fish" on this specific day only, nor why taping the drawing of a fish to someone's back would be such a great prank.
