With the current state of the news, April's fools aren't fun anymore because they can't be distinguished as easily as before

It's a stupid concept anyway, it's never been fun except to those few people who think pranks are awesome.
I remember once as a kid I moved to a school I really liked, the kids were nice, the teachers were cool and helpful and didn't make me feel like an idiot, like I actually wanted to go to school, then April fools day comes along and my nan decided to call me and tell me the school had burnt down, this obviously made my 7 year old heart break and I started bawling worried I had to move back to the bad school, she had tried to say April fools but I threw the phone away so I didn't hear it, she never April fools me again.
Fuck April fools day, some things deserve to die and be forgotten.
- As with all things, some pranks are better than others.
  Your lifelong trauma from a prank gone wrong is delectable.
  Psychologically, these types of holidays are recommended because they break the monotonous delirium of daily droning. They force the brain to think and not just accept everything as it comes.
  Your nan's hardcore. She may decide to haunt her place after passing, so keep some salt with you when you visit.
- That's a shit prank, and people like your nan don't understand how pranks work.
  A good prank should allow the subject to join in the fun. Some stuff came up this year, so my plans have to be delayed until next year, but I bought a vial of gallium that I'm planning on molding with a cast of one of our kitchen spoons.
  So my wife will wake up and see that her coffee melted her spoon. Little miraculous and inexplicable moment in the morning.
  (Gallium is non-toxic)
  
  I absolutely love your spoon idea, but you are like the 1% of pranksters. I have never, ever witnessed or been subjected to a prank that lets the victim join in the fun. It's always been solely fun at someone else's expense, ending in laughing and/or pointing at someone.
  
  People are pretty good at remembering the negatives and forgetting positives.
  Maybe you just remember the mean ones.
  
  It might melt in her hand before it even makes it into the coffee
  
  It’s melting point is 85F, but I’ve found it difficult to melt with body heat. Haven’t played with it out of the vial yet though. Maybe it’ll be easier when it’s thinner.
