April Fool’s is no joke. You might have spent some time planning how to prank your friends, but have you made a game plan to avoid being pranked? Here are five tips to avoid being fooled:

1. What may look like a parking ticket might actually just be a yellow piece of construction paper from a prankster.

2. Don’t accept any gifts that seem out of the blue. It might be a caramel onion or Oreos with toothpaste instead of the filling.

3. Professors might give out a fake pop quiz. Note, this does not apply to every quiz.

4. If you live with a serious practical joker, make sure the item you are about to use hasn’t been tampered with. Your perfume could be pickle juice or you could have hot sauce on your toothbrush.

5. If any of your essential items, like a phone charger, are missing, make sure to interrogate the pranksters in your life.
