On This Day: National Everything You Think is Wrong Day

Nobody likes a know-it-all.  Today is a holiday that forces us to realize our mistakes and lack of knowledge.  You may be smart, but you’re not THAT smart!  Take a moment to demonstrate your vulnerabilities and show the world that it’s okay if you don’t know the answer.  Remember back in elementary school when we were told to ask questions if we didn’t know the answer?  Try adopting that practice again.  You may learn something!

Other Holidays:

• True Confessions Day –  spill the beans!
• Buzzard’s Day – head to Hinkley, Ohio, for a crazy celebration involving turkey vultures, yeah…
• Brutus Day – you can figure this one out
• National Peanut Lover’s Day
• National Pears Helene Day – you may not know it by name, but you’ve probably indulged at some point
• World Consumer Rights Day – it’s not what you think.  Consumers International believes that water is a consumer right and advocates that safe drinking water reach the entire world population
