Sadie Hawkins Day - Did you?

Today is leap year day, Feb 29th...also know as Sadie Hawkins Day. Sadie Hawkinds day had something to do with St. Bridget telling St. Patrick that she didn't agree with girls having to wait for the boys to ask them on dates or propose...So once every 7 years, it is okay for a girl to ask a boy out...something like that anyway...

My question is...did you ever ask a boy out???? Or for the men, were you ever asked out by a girl????

I never did... But I remember the Sadie Hawkin's Day Dances. Both High Schools I went to had this and the girls were supposed to ask out the boys. I never got asked to one at either school...

Vance
I remember those dances. And we had to bring a lunch for the boys to bid on in an auction. Gack! What a horrible memory.
We had those dances too--I don't think I ever did ask a boy to go--we just all went and had a good time!
I went to an all girl's college prep high school, so if I was going to go to any of the dances, I had to do the asking! And I did go to the dances, lol.
every day was a sadie hawkins day...all girls catholic school...we went trolling in front of the public school with our uniforms rolled up :potstir:

LOL, Darcy...ok...we have to meet. We both went to all girl's catholic schools in the midwest, we both now live in AZ and we both LOVE sheepies! I'm old now, but young at heart. Lunch sometime, maybe? You would LOVE my Bella girl.....
Why do we think of February 29th as Sadie Hawkins Day? Tim and I were discussing that yesterday because we both thought that was correct. But, the quick google search I did brought up the Al Capp comic strip of Lil Abner where he basically "invented" the tradition and it took off. He never intended for it to be a set time, but it ended up being an annual event in DogPatch (Lil Abner's town) each year in November. :? I knew that was its origin (or at least that's what I'd always heard), but for some reason, I had it in my head it was February 29th, too.

So, just curious, does anyone have any more information on its origin and celebration date?

I will googgle Sadie hawkins and see who she was!
I knew Sadie Hawkins.
Sadie Hawkins was a friend of mine.

At least I thought so, until she made me buy lunch for her, trolled in front of my public school with her uniform rolled up and asked Vance to the dance.
Yup, we had the dances too. The girls not only asked the boys, but we havd to provide transportation and pay for everything! We also had to dress the part. We wore burlap sacks, hats with braids, carried jugs that said 'hooch', goofy make up and I even blacked out my front teeth. I looked so purdy................ :) The guys spiffed up too. :hearts:
