Until yesterday, Wilson was unaware that the Spring Equinox was even a thing, and was pretty annoyed that no-one (I think he means me) had mentioned it to him.
‘This is a MAJOR missed opportunity, New Dad!’ he complained, ‘A rare chance for me to grab an occasion that hasn’t already had the joy (and profit) squeezed out of it by the Hallmark Card Company! I could have really cleaned up with my exclusive range of Spring Equinox Cards!’
I tried to console him by explaining that there would be another Equinox in only six months – the Autumn Equinox.
‘Are you MAD, New Dad?’ he exclaimed, ‘People want to celebrate Spring, growth, warmth, sunshine and blue skies – the coming of Summer; who in their right mind would want to celebrate the Autumn Equinox, harbinger of cold, rain, storms, miserableness and Winter?’
All in all, considering it was World Happiness Day, Wilson was not noticeably happier than on any other day… in fact he was arguably even a tad less happy.
Today, however, is WORLD ODD SOCKS DAY – let’s hope for increased sales of his “ODDSIES!” ™®© [patent pending] pre-unmatched Odd Socks, available from all good ladies’ and gentlemen’s outfitters.
Allegedly.
