Ballerina Day

Tweet

All across the US, people are celebrating Groundhog’s Day, one of the worst reasons for a “holiday” that I can think of. First, it goes with the premise that the seasons have an Official Starting Date. Then, the groundhog is supposed to come out of his den. If he sees his shadow, he is scared and spring doesn’t start for another 6 weeks. If he doesn’t see his shadow, spring comes normally? In the US, spring begins about 6 weeks after Groundhog day, so I’m not sure what this is all about.

Anyway, a better use of February 2 is Ballerina’s Day. It’s more practical, and it’s better all around. You see, in US and Europe, the second day of February is written as “2/2.” When it’s said, it sounds like “two two” which is a homophone for “tutu.” Who wears a tutu? That’s right, ballerinas. Ergo, February 2 is Ballerina’s Day, and if you don’t like it, you can BLOW IT OUT YOUR PIE HOLE!
