Good morning! 
It’s Sunday, 31 January 2021 (W4/D31)
Today is:
It’s yaD drawkcaB, or as it’s known in the standard world, Backward Day. The day where the world gets turned upside down and inside becomes outside, day becomes night, and we start at the end. Well, at least in concept. Please don’t attempt to do anything dangerous backwards! Like driving in reverse. Or wiring a plug backwards!
Backward Day isn’t just a day of silliness, but of mental revolution.
It was created by Megan Scott and Sarah Miller back in 1961. On the 29th of January, they were thinking about making arts and crafts while they were busy on the Miller family farm milking the cows. This is when they had an idea. Later on in the evening, they sat down together and wrote down some rules. It was not long before the idea got out and reached all of the people in the town. When the two women were walking around two days later, on the 31st of January, they noticed that everyone was doing things backwards.
Celebrating Backward Day is easy—do things backwards, or sdrawkcab, but only if it’s safe to do so, and you aren’t going to cause harm to yourself or anyone else.
- Wear your outfit backwards or inside out, and if you can, talk and write backwards.
- Go to bed in the morning and start working in the evening, have dinner in the morning and breakfast in the evening, and have dessert first during all your meals.
- Talk to people with your back towards them. Just make sure you let them know you are celebrating Backward Day, so they don’t think you are rude.
- Say goodbye to people when you meet them, and hello when you depart.
- Go out the back door
- Add coffee to your milk.
- Add ice cream to your chocolate.
- Do your work in reverse order.
- Answer the phone with “Goodbye”.
- Write your name backward.
- Write an entire sentence backward.
- Watch a movie in reverse.
- Read a book starting with the last page.
Have a fantastic yadnuS!
