Happy National Battery Day & Thumb Appreciation Day

I really appreciate my thumbs.  It's difficult to function without them (I've heard).  Thumbs are also called opposable thumbs because they can be stretched opposite fingers in order to grip things.  Some people celebrate by trying not to use their thumbs thus increasing their appreciation of them, while others celebrate by consciously using them.  How could you play "Where is Thumbkin" without thumbs?  Or play "got your nose?"  You couldn't sign toilet.  Thumbs are even more important than I thought!  Watch Spy Kids to see some big thumbs.  However you celebrate today, give it a big thumbs up.

How many battery-operated things are at your house?  Phones, hearing aids, watches, computers, cars....  The list goes on and on.  What would we do without them?  It should be battery appreciation day because our lives would be quite difficult if they quit working.  While we're on the subject, do the batteries in your smoke detectors need to be replaced?
