FRENCH LESSONS: Poisson d’Avril
Today’s French Lesson is technically a day late, as yesterday was officially le poisson d’avril [the fish of April], or April Fool’s Day. According to this article, the holiday of pranks may have even started in France. I saw some really clever internet jokes yesterday, but I have to say that commenters were a bit of the party-pooper variety. It’s far more fun falling for it, even if it’s short lived. Stay tuned tomorrow – I’ll share my favorite April Fish!
French Lessons is an ongoing series where I teach you French words and cultural lessons while beefing up my Illustrator skills.

You might have seen my instagram of the babies with fishies on their backs…the closest we get to April fools ;)

Yes, so cute! I actually had never seen the paper fish until then. They were in the article I linked too.
