I’ve always been amused by the number of “national” days we have. The day I’m writing this column happens to be “National Puppy Day,” according to my local news station — I’ll take any excuse to spoil my two pups a little extra, though. Just a quick Google search shows me that April 20 is apparently “National Lima Bean Respect Day” and May 9th is “National Lost Sock Appreciation Day.”
While many of these “holidays” are quite ridiculous, there are some that hold more importance. For example, March 11 was World Plumbing Day. Additionally, April 25 is “National Hug a Plumber Day,” which is a bit more lighthearted, but still more important than honoring the lima bean.
