30 Days

by Rod Drake

How it happened, no one knows; it just occurred one nice autumn day. We all knew the old saying, something as rare as “a month of Sundays,” but we never expected it to actually appear. But for 30 days, we experienced one Sunday after another, much to the pleasure of all us kids in school. Our parents didn’t have to go to work, so they got to spend extended relaxing time with each other, and us as well, plus accomplishing all those little tasks around the house that never seem to get done. Church attendance really soared, as did football games, the World Series played for 22 days (plus travel time) and golf courses & amusement parks did bang-up business. When it was finally over, everyone was thoroughly rested and ready to start a new week (wondering what would happen when the next Sunday came...).
