Dia de los Inocentes

Today is "Dia de los Inocentes" or "Day of the Innocent" in Colombia as well as many other Latin and South American countries. This day is very similar to April Fool's Day which is celebrated in the United States. On "Dia de los Inocentes" Colombians play inocentadas (practical jokes or pranks) on family and friends. When the joker gets caught they exclaim "Inocente, Inocente!" ("Innocent, Innocent!"). Sounds like fun!
