animal’s day

Emily was already sleeping soundly when I was about to go to bed last night. Being an ass that I always am, I shook her up from her sleep and asked her this…

Me : “Dear … do you remember what day is today?”

She groaned, and answered me in a semi conscious state, with her eyes still closed,

Emily : “Uhmmm… huh… monday…”

Me : “What about tomorrow, dear?”

Emily : “tt… tuesday… *snores*”

Me : “Good, good. And what am I suppose to do on Tuesdays?”

Emily : “pp… physio…”

Me : “Yes, clever girl. Anything else?”

Emily : “hhhhmmmhhh… animal’s day”

Me : [chuckles] “Oh… is that? Tomorrow is animal’s day?”

Emily : “yess….”

Me : [suppressing laugh] “And… heheh… why is tomorrow….heheheh… an animal’s day? heheh”

Emily : “hmmpffffpphhh” [mumbled something that doesn't make sense, with some hints of saliva about to drool from her mouth]

By the time she tried her very best to answer my question, I was already laughing out hysterically like a hyena having fits - which woke her up. She then realized what she had just said, and laughed it off together with me.

Emily : “Damnnnnnn… what the hell was I saying?? Tomorrow’s an ANIMAL’S DAY?? Hahahhhhh!!” [wipes drool away from her mouth]

So, I hereby would like to proclaim to the world that, today, 24th of February, shall be hence known as Animal’s Day. Thou shall not kill or hurt any animals on this day. In fact, thou shalt be nice to them. Only for today. Kiss them, feed them, pat them, whatever. Just make them feel nice and… if possible, make them FEEL IMPORTANT.
