When it comes to holidays, September 28 has something for everyone! Not only is it National Good Neighbor Day, Hug a Vegetarian Day and one of the very best holidays of the year - National Drink Beer Day, it’s also National Ask a Stupid Question Day!
Ask a Stupid Question Day
This annual “holiday” is typically observed on September 28 unless the day falls on a weekend - then it’s observed the last school day in September. Ask a Stupid Question Day actually began in the 1980s in an effort to encourage students to ask more questions in the classroom.
If you were ever a kid once, a teacher or adult probably told you there is no such thing as a stupid question. But let’s be honest. Have you ever blurted out a question that was so lame, you couldn’t believe the words actually came out of your own mouth? It was almost like you were in the middle of an out-of-body experience and someone else uttered the words! Most of us have probably kept a few questions to ourselves because we were so worried we’d be ridiculed or laughed at by co-workers, fellow students or friends.
But today is a new day! In honor of National Ask a Stupid Question Day, go ahead. Take your best shot and ask away!
