National Leg-Up Day!

You all know about April Fool's Day. We get fooled and feel foolish.

In England we have National Leg-Up Day. On the afternoon of April 1st the kids at school run around tripping each other up. Getting their own back for being fooled in the morning.

Anyone remember this from days of old?

I would prefer a national " Leg-over " day.

I'm all for practical jokes at any time, but it does get tiresome on this day.

seems like national leg up day can turn innocent pranks into someone actually getting hurt, just my opinion though.

Indeed it did. Lots of fights, bullies taking advantage of the day, people falling over and getting hurt - definitely one to leave in the playground.

Bullying aside, painful falls aside, always watching your back aside... It was a good laugh between friends.

i act like a curmudgeon which helps avoid April Fools.
