Calling the gullible, the naive, the trusting, the easily tricked and — most importantly — the foolish. 

It’s the day you waited all year for and still somehow didn’t see coming.

April Fools’!

It’s not entirely clear where the day comes from, but people have been celebrating for hundreds of years with “kick me” signs, whoopie cushions and other mischievous pranks.

That got us thinking — a whoopie cushion is one thing, but what’s the best April Fools’ prank you’ve ever seen?

CBC Kids News hit the streets of Toronto to ask kids and teens.

We heard everything from pulling out chairs to mechanical spiders under the pillow of one very unlucky sleeper. 

Check out the video below to see what else they had to say and their opinions on when April Fools’ goes too far.
