April Fish

There are some things here in Sicily, and indeed, in Italy, that I will never understand. There are some other things that are pretty easy to understand.

This is one of them.

Today is April 1st, and in the US it is April Fools' Day. Not so here. It is April Fish Day. So people try to tape a fish or a picture of a fish on the back of other people, and this is an invitation to everyone else to kick the 'April Fish' in the rear end. It also is, according to the television news, the day for kids to throw water balloons.

Like I said, this is one of them. Some things I will never understand, and other things are easy to understand. You might want to check your back side now to make sure you are not carrying an April Fish around with you. But then, maybe your friends will tell you, with a swift kick.
