Well, it is a day to celebrate siblings, the salvation army, and farm animals ... all very noble celebrations ... but just as salient is ... *drum roll please* ... the safety pin.
I guess then it is also a day to celebrate simplicity and practicality because according to legend, a dude named Walter Hunt invented the safety pin in 1849 in order to earn the money for a debt he owed. Simple. Ingenious. Safe. Brilliant.
I pretty much only use them for crafts, gaping blouses, and to find the stupid drawstring in those blasted pajama bottoms. So I suppose if it weren't for Mr. Hunt's debt I would be still be giving people crappy craft fails and flashing my boobs to the unsuspecting. However, I don't think my husband would complain too much about the disappearing drawstring. ;-)
Still ... high five, Hunt.
