Happy Thursday to you,
Happy Thursday to you,
Happy Thursday, dear Alice,
Happy Thursday to you.
“Who is Alice?” asked Mother.
“Alice is somebody that nobody can see,” said Frances. “And that is why she does not have a birthday. So I am singing Happy Thursday to her.”
“Today is Friday,” said Mother.
“It is Thursday for Alice,” said Frances.

that "concerned me emotionally". it really did. :)
Sometimes, to me it feels like it is Saturday, not Tuesday, or something similar, so I totally agree that for someone else, it can be Thursday, while to others, it is Friday.
well...i agree- but when i first read it it reminded me of a creepy child in a horror movie...
It's actually some dialogue from a really cute children's book (the characters are all badgers)...but I see what you mean...taken out of context, it IS a bit ominous.
i thought it was cute. poor little confused badgers...
