KoH: Apparently, The Dormouse has January 20th off school.Me: Yeah, that's because of the Inauguration. Pretty much all the schools are closed, I think.
DM: Don't forget Milk Day! I have Milk Day off too!
*we shoot each other a glance as we both immediately realize she's seen "MLK day" written down somewhere and she means January 19th*
KoH: Clearly, someone needs a Civil Rights lesson.
Me: I thought the schools were just really, really in support of calcium products.
Believe it or not World Milk Day is a thing - and so is World School Milk Day. Of course they're both on June 1st and, as such, wouldn't warrant a day off school. Now, World Cheese Day? That's more like it. Ah, the things the internet can teach us.

Maybe she was referring to Harvey Milk?
I'm all for World Cheese Day. Show me the party and I'll bring the Humboldt Fog chevre.

Just a few months ago, California was considering instituting "Harvey Milk Day." I think the governor shot it down though. It would have been a paid holiday for state workers.

Ironic isn't it then... I learned to hate milk from drinking that crappy cardboard box, luke-warm, crap that the school district district used to feed to us and call it milk. To this very day... ICK!
