Even though dozing in the middle of stuff happening is considered a domain of old folks and rather stereo-typically called having a senior moment, all of u have been in that meeting or that town hall where we can’t seem to stop ourselves nodding off.
Why am I talking about senior moments here, you ask?
Kanika & I found a recent news item (& I kid you not) about the National Sleepyhead day celebrations in Finland!
The festival had origins in the myth of Seven Sleepers of Ephesus in religion where a group of young men hide inside a cave to escape religious persecution and emerge 300 years later. Of late, of course, this has evolved into a day of informal celebrations and family fun where the last sleeping member of the family is carried out to the nearest water body (preferably a lake) and dunked in (while still sleeping).
You can read more about this hilarious festival here.
You can read Kanika’s take on the same toon here.
Had no idea of the Sleepyhead day celebrations. Sounds like real fun! Ugh, the lake water must be very cooold.
