It's Drinking Straw Day, the day for
the slender, hollow, sometimes bendable, plastic tube for blowing
bubbles in your milk. Well, maybe not, but my youngest kids like to
do it. I've even known of kids using straws to shoot spit balls or
at least the straws wrapper at someone.
Straws, as much fun as they can
provide, are usually meant for drinking and while modern straws were
patented in 1888 by Marvin C. Stone and were at first made of paper,
they have been around for thousands of years.
Let's take time today to be thankful
for drinking straws and their ease of use.
