In The News:
- National Read Across America Day is celebrated on March 2nd, the birthday of Dr. Seuss. The annual event is part of Read Across America, an initiative on reading creative by the National Education Association. Since the event is designed to encourage reading in children and is fostered through the schools, when March 2nd lands on a weekend, the day is observed on the closest school day. Pick up an interesting book and read it. More importantly, read with a child.
- Shared leap day birthday. A baby girl born in California on Saturday and her father share the rare distinction of being born on a leap day. Mercy San Juan Medical Center shared photos of newborn Camila dressed in a frog outfit and her father Ivan Peñaloza both of whom were born on Feb. 29. "The odds of a parent sharing a birthday with their child on leap year is 1 in 2.1 million," the hospital wrote."
- Drink Potato Chips. Forget the tedious (and greasy) way of eating a bag of potato chips — a Japanese company has invented a way to let us drink them. It’s a gadget called the Poterapper. It doesn’t turn potato chips into an actual liquid form — it gives the user a way to shove potato chips into their mouth with ease. You crush your potato chips in the bag, then cut a corner of the bag open and attach the Poterapper spout.
- Nacho Cheese getaway. A man in the UK was caught fleeing from a restaurant — covered in nacho cheese. The man had just argued with a waitress, who asked the man to leave. When the man refused a manager came to the table and told him police had been called. For some reason the man grabbed a large bowl of nacho cheese dip and poured it all over the manager and himself. Cops caught the stick guy a few blocks away.
- National Old Stuff Day gives notice to all that old stuff and encourages you to try something new. Well, maybe not ALL the old stuff, but some of it. It’s a day to break out of the old routines and experience new ones. #ReadAcrossAmericaDay or #DrSeussDay
