I got taught this to learn my left from right at nursery school,
You write with your right hand and what's left is your left hand.
Works well for most kids,but not me I was left handed and I got well mixed up!!!

The easiest way to remember your wife's birthday or your Wedding Anniversary is to forget it once.

So I'm told!

Can't forget Christmas - I've got two kids to remind me! Birthday - no chance!

30 days has September,
April, June and November.
All the rest have 31,
'cept Feb which has 28 and 29 every four years.


Sadly l've forgotten the next one, to work out when it's a leap year.

counting your knuckles works for figuring out how many days are in each month......starting with your index finger nuckle count January then for Feb u count inbetween the knuckle and so on.......the knuckle is 31days, inbetween the knuckles is 30days

Here's a method that works for most. Hold your hands out in front of you, with the index finger point upward. Move the thumb so that it is at a 90-degree angle to the index finger. The hand where the two fingers form the letter "L" is your left (unless dyslexia is a problem).

Thirty days hath September, April, June and November, all the rest have thirty-one. It's so unfair.

[vorlon24]

I heard another one which starts:

30 days have Septober, April, June and no wonder


I forget how it continues
