Thanks a lot, David, for your corrections.
Elaina, how interesting is your explanation about April's Fool Day. It deserves to be true. Now I'm rather doubtful about the kick me sign. As you say April's fool day is when all about kick me sign day began. OK, perfect... but, what's the kick me sign? I guess it must be a kind of letter you put in other's back to be kicked. Is this joke also played in Massachusetts? What about the rest of Anglo Saxon countries?

Here's a National Geographic article about the possible origins of April Fool's.

Yesterday I told my students that I had lost their compositions in the underground and that they had to do them again and they believed me!
In another class I said Prince Charles had been sent to prison (charged with Diana's murder) and they didn't really buy it. Today we are going to read the text of the famous 1957 BBC broadcast about a spaghetti harvest...

My daughter arrived at one class, only to find a sign on the door directing the students to another classroom downstairs. Once there, the students found another sign directing them to yet another classroom upstairs in another wing of the building. When they got to that classroom, there was a sign directing them to go back to the classroom they normally use. When they arrived, the teacher (who was watching her evil plan unfold all the time) was waiting for them. April Fool's!

I called some of my close friends and told them I was going back to my country, that I´ve just been offered a job by the UN (you don´t want to hear about the mouth watering package) that I was leaving town the next day,and that I probably won´t be coming back to Spain,they all believed me, most of them suggested a quick farewell get-together which of course I took them up on. Graciela is still smarting, she wants to take back all those nice things she said... Some of them were lucky, they couldn´t take the call...
