Too bad that at the time I'm reading this it's already the 5th so I couldn't celebrate it properly (not that I have any idea what properly might be in this context :P ) A Happy (belated) Sentence Day! :) Wow, I never noticed that. :)

I was in my late 20s before the sentence thing clicked for me. Of course, it wasn't my birthday, so I didn't think about the date all that often (grin). And, wow, she had a nice, long life, didn't she? That's fabulous. My grandmother's birthday was March 11th, but she died when I was nine. @Gillian--well, you can pretty much say that for any homonym-driven sentence. They don't work visually because visually they're wrought with misspellings. In that case, it's the ear that matters. @Ginny–good for your grandmother!

She's been dead 12 years now, but I always remember her on this day. I love that your sister calls it "Parade Day." It needs a special name.
