Stupid traditions

[naath]

So apparently no-one wanted to own up to not-knowing that on Feb 29th it is Traditional that Women May Propose To Men; whereas "of course" the rest of the time They May Not and Men must Do The Proposing. (one person went for the "I've watched too much Malcolm in the Middle" option).

I knew it but I couldn't be bothered to log into Dreamwidth and tell you. I did get the Malcolm in the Middle reference :)
