April Fools’ Day — Proceed with Caution (and Caffeine) Because if you believe anything I say today… that’s on you.
Let’s just be honest from the jump: April 1st is not for the faint of heart.
It’s a day when trust vanishes, confusion reigns, and I, personally, choose chaos with a cold soda in one hand and a mischievous grin on my face.
I love April Fools’ Day. Not because I want to ruin anyone’s life—but because I get to wake up and let my inner goofball run wild. The rules of logic? Irrelevant. Common sense? Optional. Emotional stability? Overrated.
You text me today? I will reply with, “I’m engaged. To a llama trainer in Montana. We met at a gas station.”
You ask me what I’m doing? I will say, “Skydiving into a Target parking lot for charity.”
And I will sip my soda with pride like it’s the most normal thing I’ve ever said.
Today is about joy. Lighthearted chaos. That weird giddy feeling you get when you tell someone something totally untrue with the straightest face imaginable—and they believe you. That’s not deceit. That’s talent.
But I’m not here to scare anyone or fake my own death (again, sorry Grandma). I’m here for the laughs. The “wait, what?” moments. The dramatic gasps followed by laughter and a “You got me!” Because let’s be honest—if we can’t laugh a little at life, what are we doing?
Also, let’s take a moment to acknowledge that every April 1st, someone always gets too bold. They try to prank someone and end up pranking themselves. Don’t let that be you. If you suddenly decide to text your ex today thinking, “What’s the worst that could happen?”—honey, that’s not an April Fools’ joke. That’s a Tuesday decision disguised as emotional chaos.
And if someone posts a life update that seems too wild to be true—just smile, nod, and check the date.
“Oh, you’re moving to Paris to become a mime?” Sure. Sure you are, Kyle. Let me know how that works out.
As for me, I will be spending today doing what I do best:
Spreading mild confusion.
Questioning all forms of sincerity.
And pretending to have a twin brother named Rick who shows up “just for April.”
So wherever you are, and however gullible you might be feeling—just know this:
Today is meant for joy, not stress. Laughter, not lies.
Let it be silly. Let it be light. Let it remind you not to take everything (or everyone) too seriously.
And if you’ve made it through the day without being pranked?
Check your shoes.
Check your soda.
Check your car.
I’m not saying I did anything.
I’m just saying... it’s April Fools’.
Happy Laughing,

Proud prank enthusiast. Still not engaged. Still drinking too much soda. All is well.
