ESL Conversation on Holidays in February

Yumi: Haha!
Oh, now that’s really funny!
I like February!

Bob: What are you reading?

Yumi: I’m reading an article called, “Fun, Wacky Holidays in February”.
There are some really great ones in here.

Bob: For example?

Yumi: Well did you know February 1st is “Ice Cream for breakfast Day”?
I wish every day was “Ice Cream for Breakfast Day”!
I think this one should be a national holiday. It would make everyone happy!

Bob: Let me see that. Oh interesting, February 1st is also “Dump your Significant Jerk Day”.
Don’t let Mindy see this. She might break up with me!

Yumi: Yeah, she might! Haha!

Bob: What do you mean by that?

Yumi: Oh, I’m just kidding.

Bob: February 2nd is Groundhog Day.
I quite like that one. It’s one of my favorites.
It’s also “Popcorn Day” the same day.
Interesting.
I will have to remember to eat popcorn on February 2nd!
Oh, and February 6th is Canadian Maple Syrup Day.
Now, that I will celebrate for sure!
And February 7th is Bubble Gum day! So cool!

Yumi: Yes, but notice that February 9th is Toothache Day!
If you eat the popcorn, Maple syrup and bubble gum, you will also probably be “celebrating” Toothache Day.

Bob: Yes, I suppose you are right.
This is really neat!
Can you forward this article to me?
February is great. We can celebrate something every day!
