This is not really a fact. Guess it could be- having never been in the Army, I don’t know. Ever since I was a little kid, my dad and I have a running joke for this day of the year. It’s always a challenge to be the first to call and say the joke. It’s very cheesy but it reminds me that my dad loves me and cherishes these little traditions as much as I do.
Here’s the joke: What day to people in the Army hate the most?
Answer: March 4th –
LOL- Not March Fourth, but March Forth!! See, told ya it was cheesy!
Just FYI- we have another tradition on December 23- see who calls first with a “Merry Christmas Eve Eve greeting.” Yes, we are dorks. Big ole dorks!

It is good to have those traditions. When I talk to my dad (every afternoon pretty much) I always tell him to behave and he always responds with “yeah right”. It’s our thing. Cheesy or not those things are good things. Thanks for sharing yours.

LOL, my grandfather used to have one and it cracked me up with I was little. It made no sense whatsoever, but I loved it. Now, I doubt I’m spelling it correctly, but here it goes:
What’s a bobbysweat?
A kooshnu
What’ s a kooshnu?
A bobbysweat
Silly, but I loved it. It was one of those little inside jokes we shared and I pull it on the kids in the family now, but they look at me like I’m weird, LOL

I love it, Danica- families are such fun- Another weird one my dad says (and he got from his dad) when I leave is “you off?” and I say “yes” and he asks, “like a jug handle?”
What the freak does that mean?? LOL!
