It has to do with market days in Ancient Rome, a rather confusing system of counting days that I won't go into. <br /><br />The Ides of March is best known as being the day Julius Caesar was killed. <br /><br />So there you go...Ms Scarletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04863293950187081082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10269004.post-10606618800283133222010-03-16T10:51:30.458-06:002010-03-16T10:51:30.458-06:00Hey!

Thought it was too quaint. Some great stuff in it though!<br /><br />Tepid--The kids do enjoy this, which is why we do it each year. And who knows how it will affect just a single kid?
