The “trick” was not to eat garlic & onions before doing this.
Minnesota didn’t have a special celebration that I know of. We didn’t really have protective child labor laws back then, either…
Growing up, we celebrated May Day by fighting the imperialists.
I prefer that tradition, maybe I’ll put it in practice next year.
Where in Nebraska? In elementary school in Iowa, we didn’t do the ding dong ditch, but tried to sneak items on a cute girl’s desk.
Sweet.
They have flowers in Nebraska on May 1?! We’re still in tobaggans in Illinois.
Anyone remember The May Pole at school? This brought back some sweet memories, like so many of your adorable strips do. Thanks, Melissa.
My grandparents lived in Hastings, Nebraska and I remember being there for Easter Break (as it was called in those long-ago days) during this exact May 1st tradition. Thanks for the sweet reminder.
We did this in Omaha growing up in the 60s.
