Has anyone else noticed that there appears to be a day dedicated for just about everything now? I thought of this the other day as I was reading all of the Happy National Siblings Day posts on Facebook. I didn’t think too much of it, celebrating having siblings must be nice. Since I am an only child I started wondering when National Only Child Day was. It wouldn’t be that much fun to celebrate because everyone would be alone. One perk is you know you would get exactly what you want as a gift because you bought it for yourself and best of all, you don’t need to share the cake with anyone.
The day after I recovered from everyone on Facebook reminding me I don’t have any siblings, it was National Pet Day. That’s when I started thinking this is getting a little ridiculous. There really are days for everything now aren’t there? With social media anyone can create a day and guaranteed people will follow. Of course with my warped mind this made me giggle. Should I create a day, maybe start with something small to see how it goes. Today I am going to post a picture of myself on Facebook, wish myself a Happy Only Child Day and see how many people catch on. I really do love messing with people, I feel like it might be my calling in life.
Then I’ll post some random picture of someone on National First Cousin Twice Removed Day and watch as everyone scrambles to find a picture to post. People will be waiting outside of their homes to take pictures of their mail carriers, paperboys, the possibilities are endless. Now that I think about it, this could actually stimulate the economy. Hallmark was brilliant with creating Valentine’s Day and watching as the sale of greeting cards soared. Think of all the products in addition to greeting cards that would benefit. On National Bed Wetter’s Day the sale of Depends and rubber sheets would increase. If only I owned a product or a company that could benefit from this type of marketing genius. Lots to do to prepare for National Crazy Blog Writer’s Day.
