June is upon us (and I have the cloudy Monday to prove it) so without further ado, here’s a list of this month’s celebratory observance offerings:
Adopt a Shelter Cat month (Note: If you actually use said cat as a shelter, I suggest protective headgear. They’re sharp on 5 of 6 ends.)
World Naked Bike Ride Month (We’ll file this under ‘things you can’t un-see.’)
National Bathroom Reading Month (Because nobody likes an illiterate bathroom.)
Potty Training Awareness Month (See the diapers? He’s not potty trained. Now you know.)
Corn and Cucumber Month (It terrifies me that Google Recipe Search has 3,800,000 hits for recipes using both corn and cucumbers. What are you people eating??)
Audio Book Appreciation Month (It’s reading … but someone else does the heavy lifting.)
and last but not least:
Dairy Month AND Dairy Alternative Month (Brought to you by Shroedinger’s cows.)
(Extra geek points if you laughed at the last one.)
Now get out there and enjoy the day!
Naked Bike Ride Month?!
I’m totally doing this. In the dark. On a secluded country road.
Scary. Seriously…scary. The words “naked” and “bicycle” really shouldn’t appear that close together in any context.
Potty training awareness? Are parents planning on keeping kids in diapers forever? Ewwwww
Perish the thought. Happiest day of my life was the day I persuaded my son that a jelly bean was a good trade for use of the potty. I didn’t even care that he turned it around on me and used the potty EVERY TIME he could muster a few drops in order to get another jelly bean (we deliberately curtailed sweets during that time to encourage him in this direction).
