En fin tradition / A nice tradition

I mandags var det Down's syndrom dag. Årsagen er enkel. Ved Down's syndrom har man 3 styk af kromosom 21, og i mandags var det den 21/3. Så deeeet......

I Sverige bliver det fejret hvert år med "rocka sockorna". Man tager simpelthen med vilje forskellige strømper på for at vise, at der skal være plads til os alle sammen. Jeg kan godt lide den tradition! Så selv om det var lidt snyd i år, fordi mit forskellige par strømper faktisk hører sammen, blev det alligevel fejret. Jeg håber, jeg også husker det næste år!

This Monday was Down's syndrome day. For a simple reason. Down's syndrome is caused by 3 copies of chromosome 21, and this Monday was 3/21 (21st of March).

In Sweden, they celebrate it every year by "rocking the socks". It's very simple - you wear different socks on purpose to show that there should be room for all of us. I do like that tradition! So although I was cheating a little bit this year, since my pair of different socks actually belong together, I still celebrated. I do hope I will remember the day next year as well!
