Not an April Fool

This was the first day back from Spring Break.  A Monday.  I spent it with sixth graders.  Not one person mentioned a prank.  Not one.  Not all day.  I wonder if this holiday is fading away.  Pretty soon it will be like May Day.  When I was young, some people left little bunches of flowers on doorsteps.  I even danced around a Maypole once, with ribbons that braided a pattern around the pole.  Not any more.  Not in a long time.
