Rich and I were talking (well mostly I was talking) about my daughter Sara earlier, known in this blog as “I Know Things” and in the post below this one, so I thought I would post a few more pics of her for the heck of it, although she won’t like it!
NOTE: Written by Sara
Yes, it’s MayDay. A peaceful, pure, festive day for your innocent sons and daughters to dance around the Maypole. Just good clean fun, right? WELL, why do we celebrate MayDay? It’s supposed to be celebrating the 8 hour work day as opposed to the 12, 14 or 16 hour work days that ended in 1886. So why are little kids dancing around a decorated pole? Pole, 8 hour workday. Pole, 8 hour work day. Something isn’t matching up here, wouldn’t you agree? Truth be told, the Maypole (outlawed in the 1600s along with MayDay itself) was actually made to be a phallic symbol. Single men and women would hold on to the ribbons tied to the pole and dance around hopefully becoming entwined with their true love. So yes, next time you consider celebrating MayDay with it’s old traditions, keep in mind your darling little kids dancing around a phallic pole. I’m sure that one will put a damper on your next MayDay
