Early

Robins in the April snow

Robin No. 1: What day is it?
Robin No. 2: Saturday.
Robin No. 1: No, I mean what’s the date?
Robin No. 2: April 7, in the Gregorian calendar, the most widely used calendar in the world. A modification of the Julian calendar, it was first proposed by the Calabrian doctor Aloysius Lilius, and was decreed by Pope Gregory XIII, for whom it was named, on 24 February 1582 …
Robin No. 1: A simple “April 7” would’ve sufficed, thank you. So, contrary to the headline, we’re not early.
Robin No. 2: I have no idea what you’re talking about.
Robin No. 1: And I have no idea why we’re talking.
Robin No. 2: We’re killing time until the worms thaw, dummy! (Pause) So much for global warming!
Robin No. 1: Geez, don’t you know the difference between climate and weather?
Robin No. 2: I was joking.
Robin No. 1: Chirp. (Flies away)
Robin No. 2: Chirp chirp. (Flies after)
