Petition to Move Leap Day to Any Other Day
No one feels the pain of leap day as keenly as those of us born on March 1st. Don’t tell me people born on Feb 29 have it worse off - they age at 1/4 speed. How is that BAD?
Every 4 years, I have to wait an extra 24 hours to get my gifts, to blow out my candles, to age one more year. Sure, in truth everyone has the same problem for a year, but we March 1st-ers notice it most. We’re walking along, minding our own business, waiting for Feb 28th to come and go and suddenly someone throws an extra day in our faces! If you’re born on March 2nd, your birthday still comes right after March 1st.
To save me this repeating agony, I believe February 29th should be moved to another day. Wouldn’t a December 24.5 go a long way toward teaching the world how I’ve felt all this time. How about we just move it from month to month - this year Feb 29th, next time around we do a March 32nd - everyone would love an extra day of spring.
All I know is that I need someone to take this burden from my shoulders or I just might start celebrating my birthday a day earlier in protest.
