Neighbor Days

A lot of people are going to laugh over this post, but I am willing to bet most people who read this and grew up in America were at one time poised before the TV screen, waiting for the man in the sweater to appear and teach them something new in his magical wonderland.



On March 20th, the man behind Mr. Rogers would have turned 80 years old. As part of a celebration called "Won't You Be My Neighbor" Days, the day has been selected as a day to wear a sweater in rememberence of one of public television's most influential childhood icons. While Mr. Rogers did have his flaws, he did spend nearly 40 years (1962 - 2001) teaching children not only standard academic things but also how to be better people and make the world a better place for not only themselves but everyone.



So dig out those SL sweaters, loves, and celebrate.
