Fun Observances
Ear Ice Cream for Breakfast Day
Make ice cream the breakfast of champions on the first Saturday of February, also known as Eat Ice Cream for Breakfast Day.
It is thought that the unofficial holiday was first created in the 1960s by Florence Rappaport in Rochester, New York as a way to entertain her children on a cold and snowy morning. Her brilliant idea took root and has now become a holiday celebrated by people around the world.
Similar holidays include Vanilla Ice Cream Day, Ice Cream Day, Ice Cream Sandwich Day, and Strawberry Ice Cream Day.
How to Celebrate?
- Replace your oats and cereal with ice cream.
- Have fruit ice cream instead of breakfast fruits.
- Top your pancakes and crepes with ice cream.
- Used to having bacon for breakfast? What about making bacon ice cream for breakfast instead?
- Organize an ice cream charity brunch. Serve your guests different flavors of ice cream and raise money for your favorite childhood cancer awareness charity.
Did You Know…
…that according to some estimates, the United States is the leading consumer of ice cream in the world? New Zealand comes a close second.

Funny Things That Parents Say
"The key is to put the mousetrap outside the house. That way, the mice don't come in."
"Don't do drugs. They're hell on your body, and I may need one of your organs someday."

Our 25-year-old son moved back home with an eye toward socking away money to buy a condo. We never bothered asking how long he'd planned to stay, but I got a pretty good idea when I walked into his room recently. In the corner was a milk jug with a few coins in it and a label that read "Condo down payment."
***
People’s parents actually give them sage advice, like
“Do what you love, and the money will follow” or
“The early bird gets the worm.”
All I remember is “Don’t fill up on bread.”
***
When the new activities director for the rec center walked in, all us retirees quickly took notice. She was 20-something, statuesque, and gorgeous.
My buddy whispered, “She makes me wish I was 30 years older.”
“Don’t you mean 30 years younger?” I asked.
“No. If I were 30 years younger, I’d still never have a chance with a woman like that. If I were 30 years older, it wouldn’t bother me so much.”
