No good. Goes back to the tradition.
Here are a few quotes from that fictional calendar tradition:

Have you ever included any personal or family traditions/customs in your stories?
That's a simple tradition to use. And clever to note the question is a great character development idea.
ReplyDeleteHa! I like that the mom tries to change things up but has to go back to the tradition.
ReplyDeleteMy mother tried to start a tradition of giving my daughter a snow globe for Christmas each year, but she didn't have the space to keep all of them!
ReplyDeleteGreat calendar and a super idea to use it for character development. Happy IWSG day, belated.
