Today is National Pasta Day.
Of course, the kids are excited. They wrote it in their calendars. K's favorite food is pasta. This being National Pasta Month, I suppose today is the culmination of pasta celebration. I have never quite understood why National Pasta Day was not chosen to fall on October 25th: World Pasta Day. Some sort of anti-global bias there.
According to this very long list, it is also "Four Prunes Day." I told the girls this.
M: "I'm not writing that one down."K: "Is it for F-O-R prunes or four F-O-U-R prunes?"
M: "Do I have to write that one down?"
K: "Maybe it's something in the Bible."
M: "I'm not writing that one down."
How will you choose to celebrate? With prunes or pasta?
I'm leaning towards pasta. Although I do like prunes. Difficult decision. I'd do both, but for the calories.
If National Pasta Day were worth celebrating, you'd think that the website for the National Pasta Association would at least mention it.

Your kids are cut-ups! I love that dialog!
Posted by: Patti M. at October 17, 2007 9:27 AMWhat about a whole wheat pasta in a prune sauce? And isn't October breast cancer awareness month? You should slather the mixture on your breasts to show that you are aware of them.

I'm with K. Pasta is my favorite food too.
Is it 'for prunes' or 'four prunes'? LOL!
Posted by: Chuck S. at October 17, 2007 1:47 PM"National Day For Prunes" just raises more weird questions. Like, is it for eating prunes or for prune rights? Sometimes raising awareness is not easy.
Brian's suggestion is interesting. Now I'm worried my breasts aren't aware that I am aware of them. Or that other people don't realize I am aware of breasts.
Posted by: James at October 17, 2007 1:59 PMOh, just think of the orn-pay hits this blog will get due to Brian's funny and slightly disturbing post!
Posted by: Patti M. at October 17, 2007 3:17 PMJames, maybe to display your breast-awareness to the world, you could pin plum-colored ribbons to your nipples.
Posted by: Patti M. at October 17, 2007 3:18 PMThat's a little too aware for my tastes!
Posted by: James at October 17, 2007 4:26 PMPins and nipples? Owie owie! Owie owie! Owie owie owie owie owie...
Quick NOBODY SIGN ME UP FOR THAT!
Yikes!
Posted by: Chuck S. at October 17, 2007 6:18 PMFunny and slightly disturbing is one of my goals! Check.
So, Chuck, is it time for a chorus of "I think I'm aware now"?
