Hello March

Dear Henry Albert,

February is gone. The Stock Market dropped over 300 points on February 29, 2008 (Leap Year Day or Extra Day). It’s a good thing it only comes once every four years.

We hope March will be better. March has the birthdays of famous and important people. Albert Einstein was born on March 14th and Dr. Seuss was born on March 2nd.

And do you know who was born on March 11th? (Ask your Mommy and Daddy)

Scientists said there is a big increase in the amount of Jelly Fish. When your Mommy and Uncle Mike were little kids, I told them about Jelly Fish, but they used to giggle and think I was joking. They also thought I was kidding about Oatmeal Fish and String Bean Fish and Peanut Butter Fish. Giggling is good.

You are learning to talk and make sounds. You say “up” and “la-la-la”. Soon you will learn “Mama” and “Dada” and “zugepes” and a lot of other words. Sounds are important too. Especially if you are a bus or a fire-engine. A bus goes “HONK! HONK!” And fire-engines have sirens that make a lot of noise.

Animal sounds are important. Did you know that a lot of people don’t speak English and a lot of creatures are not people? There are more Chickens and Bugs and Spanish and Chinese speaking people in the world than Americans.

What if everyone in America went around babbling in Chinese and Spanish and Chicken and Bug? John Wayne believed that all Americans should speak English.
March 1st is National Pig Day and Peanut Lovers Day The 5th is Multiple Personality Day and the 6th is both Dentist's Day and National Frozen Food Day .
The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) warned that you should not eat alfalfa sprouts until further notice because of suspected infection.
No alfalfa sprouts for Henry!

And the answer is ….. Lawrence Welk.

And maybe some other person who is giggling and eating their hat.
