So then…my sister (who lives up north) and I try to find a week during the summer for us to get together with our kids. Here is our email exchange, starting with my sister Della – and ending with a HILARIOUSLY DISTURBING photo:
Can’t wait to see you guys this summer. We’re available June 21 – July 31. We’re not available Labor Day weekend. The kids have sports camps the first half of June – then I’m helping chaperone a camping trip for 12 kids from July 4-7. (Pray for me!) Thanks for organizing a get-together for us!
–Della
When is Labor Day?
–Darcy
Seriously? Don’t you own a calendar? September 2. We’re not available for Labor Day because we’ll be in Kansas.
–Della
OK, well, just FYI, we’re not available for Groundhog’s Day.
Or Summer Solstice.
Or Vaginal Itching Day.
Oh yeah, I’m sure you know when those dates are.
–Darcy
Isn’t every day Vaginal Itching Day?
–Della
Omigod, you’re hilarious! Yes, every day IS Vaginal Itching Day!
Did I mention that I’m saving our emails so I can publish them in a book?
–Darcy
Oh, snap. I take it back.
–Della
So then I decide to share the emails on this website – and I try to figure out what picture I could use to illustrate the story.
I know there can’t possibly be an actual “Vaginal Itching Day” – much less a Parade to celebrate it – but just for sh*ts and giggles, I Google it anyway – and I find this photo:
Oh.My.God.
Now I’m not saying that this is a Vaginal Itching Day Parade — but it does appear to be a parade of some kind — and vaginas do seem to figure prominently.
I love the internet.
So there you have it. Apparently there IS some sort of Vagina Day that we need to put on our calendars. So plan your summer vacation around THAT, everybody!

I need to know when this day is so I can torment my doctor with it (he doesn’t “do” lady parts).
I think it’s in late August, funny lady!!
OMG who would have thought that could be.
lol!!! I hope everyday isn’t vaginal itch day!! otherwise someone should go seek GYN help! lol I can’t see the photo though… did the coding get messed up and made the photo disappear or did u just forget to post it? lol
Veronica, so sorry you can’t see the photo on your computer. Please try this link and let me know if it works: http://pinterest.com/pin/495888608940462994/
The photo is pretty dang funny so I really hope you can see it!
I was actually just reading a book where the Mom said that her daughter refers to Google as her third parent… as in, if you or dad don’t know the answer “go ask Google”. This story firmly illustrates why children should NOT be allowed to do so… lol.
Agreed! Back in our day, OUR parents told us to go ask “Encylopedia Brittanica” knowing full we were too lazy to do so. Ain’t nobody got time for that!

That is the best thing ever. I am a well known lover of personified vaginas: http://www.alioffthemark.com/2013/04/v-is-for.html

I was visiting Yale with my (admitted student who changed her mind and didn’t go) daughter.
So then, as we are on the way home, via Hartford, where we had to catch the plane, we went to an art museum. We were in the modern art section, and there was, for lack of better description, a wheel in a horizontal position and at each spoke there was displayed a ceramic “pink taco”/labia & vulva glazed in full color (maybe 16 in all). I am thinking to myself, “Oooooookkkkkkaaaay, so this is what passes for art today.” I watch my daughter go up to the piece. She looks at it carefully, then, more closely. And then even more closely; she is so close her nose is about 8 inches from them. Then, all of a sudden, she jerks up, gasping! She sees me watching and we begin to giggle somewhat hysterically. Too funny! I tell her, “I was wondering when you’d figure it out…”
Oh. My. God. Exactly.
The strange crap you can find on the internet. It’s so disturbing to see a head sticking out of that vagina.
Why disturbing? That’s the first place every singe head enters the world! (Caesarean section aside of course). Even the baby Jesus was shot out of a vagina (one assumes).
There are no words for a photo like that.
