Sample transcript1
 
Maura: So, a hoax2 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 gullible3.
Maura: Yeah, you probably wouldn’t. So what kind of jokes have been played on you on April Fools Day?
