Earlier today, MP saw something on TV mentioning Father’s Day along with Mother’s Day.
Heeyy … there’s a FATHER’s Day too?
Mmm hmm. But we celebrate GRANDfather’s Day instead.
Oh yeah.
(big smile)
Is there a KID’s Day?
Yep. Every day.

I had the SAME conversation with Son yesterday… wondering when the kids’ day was after learning there was also a father’s day. Isn’t it funny how their trains of thought go?
Hope you had a great day yesterday.

my son always makes a card for “Poppy” (my dad) for father’s day. We’ve juyst started calling it Poppy Day.

In Japan they have “Children’s Day” and even the stock market is closed down on that day. Its like a major national holiday. GO Japan!

Tracy — We call my stepdad Poppy too! Poppy Day is too cute.
Hanna — WOW. That’s actually pretty cool. Let’s write a letter — we have far too few national holidays in the U.S., wouldn’t you agree?

Doesn’t EVERY parent get programmed with the same auto response:
“EVERY day is Children’s Day.”
I know I heard it when I asked, and I heard myself say it last year.

[...] how Mommy Pie explained — as I have, too — that on Father’s Day, we celebrate Grandpa. Good [...]
