The Ice Cream For Breakfast Day
Story:

Once upon a time there was a little girl named Ruth and
a little boy named Joe.  Ruth  and Joe grew up in the
back of beyond in New York state where it was very
very cold.  Every winter between New Year's Eve and
Passover, life in up-state New York got extremely
boring, so their parents invented a holiday to brighten
up the dreary days of winter.  It was called Ice Cream
For Breakfast Day.  This was a wonderful holiday for
children and parents alike because to celebrate you had
to eat ice cream for breakfast on the first Saturday in
February.

Well, Ruth  and Joe grew up and went away to a
university.  They made many friends and taught them all
about Ice Cream For Breakfast Day.  After college
Ruth had a roomate named Barry to whom she also told
about this tradition.  Many years later, Barry met Itzah
C. Kret in Washington, D.C. and converted him into an
Ice Cream For Breakfast Day observer.  

Nobody has kept precise track but through word of
mouth ICFBD has been celebrated in many homes, states
and countries all over the world.  Some people give
parties with musical instruments, others simply
celebrate with family members.  There is no right or
wrong so long as you follow the three simple Ice Cream
for Breakfast Day Rules

(1) Eat ice cream
(2) for breakfast
(3) on the first Saturday in February

The rest is up to you!

WORDS OF WISDOM FORWARDED FROM A
  SOURCE @ MONTANA STATE UNIVERSITY

"My advice to you is not to inquire why or wither
but just enjoy your ice cream while it's on your
plate--that's my philosophy."
---Thornton Wilder

"A little ice cream, tumbled about, anon, becomes
a mountain."  
--paraphrased from King John, by Shakespeare

** REAL NEWS from 2007 **

**It is with sadness that we've been
informed that February 3, 2007 will be
the first ICFBD celebrated without
Florence Rappaport.  She is the grandma
who invented ICFBD.  May we celebrate
her life and remember her gifts to all of
us.

*We've received one unconfirmed report
that authorities in CHINA, have
internally blocked the link to ICFBD.   
Nevertheless, there will be celebrations
both in HUANZHOU and BEIJING.
