Happy Dyngus Day!


In Polish culture, the Monday after Easter is called Dyngus Day. It was traditionally the day when boys tried to douse the girls with squirt guns, buckets of water, etc. They also are allowed to swat them with pussy willow braches. The following day, Tuesday, it's the girls turn to take revenge on the guys. Those wacky Poles...
(thanks, Tim-may!)
