February 27, 2008
It's a Leap year
with 29 days in February .
February 2008 has fiv e Fridays - it starts and ends on a
Friday; this only happens every 28 years, l^ a p years are
needed so that the calendar is in alignment with the earth's
motion around the sun.
Leap Year has been the traditional time that women can
propose marriage. When the rules of courtship were stricter,
women were only allowed to pop the question on one day
every four years. That day was February 29th. In the United
States, we refer to this date as Sadie Hawkins Day.
The first documentation of this practice dates back to
1288, when Scotland passed a law that allowed women to
propose marriage to the man of their choice in that year. They
also made it law that any man who declined a proposal in a
leap year must pay a fine. The fine could range from a kiss
to payment for a silk dress or a pair of gloves.
Sadie Hawkins Day
Sadie Hawkins Day. an American folk event, made its dehut
in AlCapp's- 'L i’l Abner' strip November 15. 1937.
Sadie Hawkins was "the homeliest gal in the hills" who grew
tired of waiting for the fellows to come a courtin’. Her father the
mayor of DogpatchU.S. A..decreed the first annual Sadie Hawkins
Day, a foot race in which the unmarried gals pursued the town's
bachelors, with a shotgun wedding as the consequence.
