If you mean April Fools' Day, Robin, we do have that in Europe too!
I learned that when I was six years old and my mother took me and my
sister to Europe for 3 months. On April 1, I found that people
would pin paper fish to others' backs without them knowing
it. Either my sis did it to me or we did it to out mom, I can't
recall. And I can't remember what the significance was. Do you know, Kate?
I seem to remember that the French equivalent of April Fool's Day is
"Poisson d'Avril" - April fish! But I don't know why, and could be wrong.
