In the Washington Post, they include a one-page KidsPost each day. Today, the KidsPost was entitled "Every Day Is a Cause to Celebrate" and they highlighted "less important dates to take note of this year." I thought some of these were really funny so I'm including them all here for others to enjoy.

A comment from HCG, just changed two first names to initials:
Whoa, I am TOTALLY in for Goof-Off Day, wonderful weirdos day, and hairball appreciation day. Did you know that the largest hairball in the world is at a museum near Portland, OR? I tried to get JH and MH to visit it with me, but once we found out it cost like $15, we were less excited. These are hilarious!
How could they leave out September 19th? International Talk Like A Pirate Day?
