7/11

I was telling my 10 year old, during a heated soccer battle with an oversized tennis ball, that theres a famous gas station in America called 7/11. They are famous for their slurpees! *Had to describe a slurpee.

Well, I told him that on 7/11 or July 11th, they offer free slurpees.
Then he brought up a good point: in France, it would be the 7th of November because everyone writes the date with the day of the month first. 7/11.

So, giant 7/11 corporation, if you ever decide to expand to France, you will need to consider either changing your name to 11/7 and giving out free slurpees in July or just give out the free slurpees in November.

Food for thought.

“Oh, London is a man's town, there's power in the air;
And Paris is a woman's town, with flowers in her hair;
And it's sweet to dream in Venice, and it's great to study Rome;
But when it comes to living, there is no place like home.”
Henry van Dyke
