15 October is National Grouch Day, a special day created for all grouches to celebrate their way of life.
If you look up the word ‘grouch’ in the dictionary you will find the following definitions:
– a person who complains frequently or constantly;
– a habitually irritable or complaining person.
It appears that grouches are only happy (although they will never admit it) when someone else is unhappy and grouchy. When others share in their world, that is the time they will fell the most comfortable.
Although it could not be confirmed, it seems that the creator of National Grouch Day was the Sesame Street Magazine, in honour of Oscar the Grouch, the famous Sesame Street Grump.
Today is the perfect opportunity to send a “grouch” e-card to someone you know who fits the description. You can also ask a friend – grouch or not – to come over for a visit, pop some popcorn and enjoy a relaxing afternoon watching the well known movie, Grumpy Old Men.
National Grouch Day also gives you the perfect excuse to be a little bit grouchy – even if you are not normally a grouch. If you are a grouch, this day is especially for you – but please accept our heartfelt wishes that your future days will be much brighter!
