Did y'all know about this? I guess there's this thing called World Book Day, and it's this big huge deal, only the UK hasn't invited America to play yet.
Only now that we know about it, we can play if we want. For example, I will be going into town today to one of the fine bookshops, where I will check out the special 1 pound books that are available today. I'm thinking I'll get one for Savvy, just to scare her dad about the possibility of her growing up British with all the subliminal messages I send her (like when I use the word bit instead of part and say uni work instead of homework, or the way I'm going to start secretly mailing her packs of McVitties and pictures of Prince William).
Anyway, I will let everyone else decide how they're going to observe this blessed World Book Day. A few suggestions if none are coming to mind:
- Go to the library
- Go to a bookstore
- Go to amazon.com if you're really that lazy or deskbound
- Read a book
- Read a book to someone
- Read a children's book if you just don't have the attention span
- Dress up like a book character
- Dress up like a book
- Dress up like a librarian
- Dress up like a naughty librarian
- Refrain from burning books
- Refrain from burning librarians
- Try a new author
- Write a book, get it published, become rich and famous
See? No matter which option you choose, today is pretty much win-win.
ps. The beautiful and culinarily-talented DanaLee has just pointed out that it's Dr. Seuss's birthday today! So all right-thinking people should go to Seusseville and take a look around.
