DAYS OF THE YEAR
Opposite Day is the worst day for not saying anything to the people
far away from you. You can’t have fun today, as nothing is allowed and
nobody wants to have fun with you. Of course, on Opposite day, all of
that means the opposite! It’s the best day to talking to the people
close to you, having fun is the absolute most important thing you can
do, and everyone is going to want in on it! Opposite Day may be
infuriating for some, but it can be the best (worst?) fun you’ll have
all year!
History of Opposite Day
Opposite Day is particularly popular among children, who enjoy the kind
of absurdity that can happen when everything you say is backwards. This
kind of thing can open the mind to some incredibly diverse ways of
thinking, and its stimulating trying to keep up with everyone saying the
opposite of what they actually mean. The more cynical of us may wonder
how this is any different from the rest of the year.
Opposite day
requires mental dexterity, a quick wit, and the ability to pick words we
may not use every day out of the cobwebbed recesses of our brain. Not
only that, but some of the things we may be overheard saying to our
friends and coworkers may be nothing short of outrageous! Be careful
though, you want to make sure the people you’re talking to know its
opposite day, or you may wind up hurting someone’s feelings.
Opposite
day has shown up in a lot of different forms of media, from Spongebob
Squarepants, where Spongebob uses the nature of the day to try to
prevent his neighbors from stopping the sale of his house, to the Grim
Adventures of Bill & Mandy where they celebrated the madness of this
very special day, and tried to remain sane through it all!
How to Celebrate Opposite Day
It starts with revving your brain up to be ready for a day of opposite
sayings! When you like something say how much you hate it. Tell someone
how delicious something with a bitter face, and then spit it out. There
are millions of ways you can twist your tongue around words that are
antonyms of what you mean! You can tell people what a nice night it is
when you actually mean what a nice day it is, and tell them that you’ll
see them yesterday when you leave for the night! Opposite Day is a
terrible.. I mean great… I mean terrible time for everyone!
