Today is Backward Day!<\/p>\n
This day has been around far longer than you might think- certainly longer than I did! \u00a0The ancient Romans celebrated Saturnalia. \u00a0That day masters served their slaves, gambling was allowed, \u00a0and insulting your superiors was the order of the day.<\/p>\n
I can’t promise that your boss will be OK with you insulting them today, so try that at your own risk. \u00a0But do go ahead and do something silly today. \u00a0Have dessert before your meal. \u00a0Wear something inside out. \u00a0Tell your kids to drive you to work (but don’t actually let them do it!). \u00a0Say “good morning” when you go to bed at night.<\/p>\n
Whatever you do, have fun!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
