Happy Leap Day! Feb. 29, 2008
Today is the extra day you get every four years! I’ve always loved leap day.
Just be careful today is the day WOMEN can ask MEN to marry them.
In 1288 the Scottish parliament under Queen Margaret “any woman could propose in Leap Year”, But if the man rejects the proposal, he be fined with a kiss, one pound (English Money), and a pair of Silk gloves and a silk gown. There were similar traditions/laws in France and Switzerland. It also was not to be something you would do to a stranger, only a person who has been dodging the question. This is more refined to just LEAP DAY where the woman asks the man. Remember guys, it is ok to ask for a ring and a wedding date if asked for your paw in marrage. Just like the girls do when we ask them.
