APRIL- A MONTH WITH THIRTY DAYS

Thirty days hath September, April, June and November! All the rest have Thirty-one, except February which in Four has One day more!
Months with thirty days seem to fly by quickly! It never ceases to amaze me that even adults will say- April only has thirty days. It came up the other day that I cited the little rhyme learnt in about Grade Two when we were studying the names of the months. Some people use a knuckle way learnt in Europe to figure out which months are shorter- the knuckles are the thirty one and the dips are the short ones! It really is very simple- Get a Calendar! One with the overview of the whole year will straighten out the debate! It is a universal method!
