Maura: So, a hoax is when you pretend that something is happening but it really isn’t happening.

Jessie : Yeah, it is kind of like telling a lie.

Maura: But it is a fun lie, especially on April Fools Day just for fun.

Jessie : Exactly.

Maura: Right, so if I came today in shorts and a t-shirt and I said, “Oh Jessie, I was just at the beach and it was 30 degrees”. That would be a hoax. That would be a joke because unfortunately it is not that warm in Montreal yet.

Jessie : I don’t think I would believe you. I’m not that gullible.

Maura: Yeah, you probably wouldn’t. So what kind of jokes have been played on you on April Fools Day?
