National Chicken Month, The Way A Chicken Would Prefer To Celebrate It

As I’m sure you all know, September is Baby Safety Month. Unless of course you’re a baby chicken, because it’s also National Chicken Month, and as far as I can tell, it seems the only way people know of to celebrate a chicken is to eat it. September holidays are rife with contradictions like this. On Labor Day you don’t, and September 11 is not only Make Your Bed Day, it’s also And Lay Down In It Day as well. Writing about International Literacy Day clearly presents another intrinsic problem a problem thats pardon the pun punctuated by National Punctuation Day which is on September 24 2009 National Punctuation Day reminds us that without proper punctuation reading becomes rather difficult to say the least. Continuing the contradictory nature of September holidays, please note that Citizenship Day and Native American Day highlight a pretty significant difference of opinion about who the residents of America are. They’re more than a week apart. We’ll be back to touch on other important holidays later in the month, with a more serious, respectful look at sacred traditions like Rosh Hashanah, Hispanic Heritage Month, and Talk Like a Pirate Day. Argh.
