I don’t know if you remember or not, but a few months ago there was National Doughnut Day, and Dunkin Donuts and Krsipy Kreme and places like that had all kinds of "free doughnut" specials (but only if you buy ten cups of coffee between seven and ten A.M and dance in front of the store windows wearing a hula skirt and cowboy hat...or something like that). I am just now beginning to learn that there are all kinds of National Whatever Days out there--is there an actual National Whatever Day? Must look this up--, and I have decided that I will bring the best of these to you. Hence this post.
Today is National Lollipop day. I actually did have a lollipop today, the kind that they give screaming four-year-olds at the bank, and it was watermelon and it tasted quite good. I don't have any more, unfortunately, and I know it's not the same exact thing, but later I'll have a Warheads freezie pop. Funny story about the first time I had one of those? It was green apple (which doesn't need any more help being sour, really) and I was watching my favorite sports team. The Bad News Bears in Breaking Training. And it was during the montage where Coach Kelly's Dad (as he will always be known to me) was whipping them into playing shape and Kelly wouldn't put his cigarette out (kid, don't you know those things give you cancer?). My brother had a watermelon one and he completely could not handle it; he was like a drunk at happy hour. I had some of his and he had some of mine; his face nearly melted and I found it tart, but not really that sour. I have such a high tolerance for these kinds of things, actually...
But whatever. Not the point. The point is, I can handle sour things and today is national lollipop day. Go crazy. Just...not too crazy. I want you around for National Whatever Day. If that's not actually a holiday, I'm going to make it one. You just watch me. And have a lollipop while you do so.
