My west coast brother informed me that today is "Curious Events Day." He then went on to tell me that he had heard a report that Amelia Earhart spotted the Loch Ness monster in the Bermuda Triangle. That would indeed have been a curious event, even if it had occurred while Amelia Earhart was still alive. I know, I know, no one ever proved she died, she simply disappeared. But even if she didn't die when she disappeared somewhere in the Pacific Ocean, she was born in 1897, so I feel safe in assuming that she's not still alive. But thinking about curious events, I think it is safe to say that many of the 'special days' of which my brother has made me aware, are certainly curious. For example there was National Find a Four Leaf Clover Day (you must be curious to search for 4-leaf clovers), National Water Balloon Day, (someone will wonder who threw that), World Beard Day, (there are contests to see who has the longest bushiest beard) and my favorite - Wiggle Your Toes Day. I love to wiggle my toes. My first husband often asked me why I wiggled my toes so much? He usually observed this curious event when I was relaxing, watching TV or reading, sitting in a recliner with my feet up. The simple answer, then and now, is because it feels good. So if you were curious about toe wiggling, now you know.
