Happy Backward Day - Celebrate Jan. 31 in reverse!

How to Celebrate Backwards Day

• Instead of eating a sandwich with the goodies in the middle, put the goodies on the outside of the bread today!

• Wear your shirt, coat, gloves and/or cap backwards.

• Wear your socks inside out, on top of your pants!

• As long as you are careful or have a “spotter”, walk backwards.

• Try your hand at writing backwards, except on legal documents of course. See what it’d look like online.

• Call people by their last names today.

• Sit at your desk facing backwards.
