August 22nd is National Tooth Fairy Day!



While little publicized, it is nonetheless true that for every cavity, root canal, or pulled tooth, the Tooth Fairy pays one late night visit, during which she roots through couch cushions and laundry baskets, retrieving loose change from our less dentally fastidious populace. Every 22nd of August, she balances her books and purchases for herself a brand new tutu.

It's nice teaching with patient people.

It's National Grammar Day!


March 4th is
National Grammar Day,
and so it bears mentioning that even if, in the end, the statement

achieves through its triple negative
an outcome no less negative than intended,
such a syntactic transgression rarely goes
uncontradicted or
unpunished.
