September is National Child Passenger Safety
Month. It’s also National Chicken Month, International Update Your Resume
Month, National Piano Month, and about thirty-five other reasons to celebrate.
Even the blueberry popsicle declares September as its month. And don’t get
started on specific weeks and days. Cheese, skyscrapers and telephones all have
their own day. Add them all up and September has 130 supposed holidays. Some of
these are patently ridiculous – National Meow Like a Pirate Day? What? That
doesn’t even make sense. But if you have kids, care for kids, like kids or even
just begrudgingly admit that they are our future, this month has an important
message. Plus it’s a good time to address changes to the law.
