What is National Walk Around Things Day?
National Walk Around Things Day, which takes place on April 4th each year, is a holiday open to interpretation.. Very little detail is available about this year's festivities, so we'll do our best to lead you through it.
Both literally and literally, this day may be looked at both literally and literally. One would not walk across a puddle of water or mud; one would walk around it; one would not walk across it. One would not walk under a ladder or over broken glass, one would walk around both.
One would "walk around" avoiding particular problems or potential issues, according to a figuratively. One will also "walk around" avoiding arguments, specific situations, or inappropriate or uncomfortable discussions.
Walking around things such as a neighborhood, park, or shopping mall could be another potential goal of this day. We're walking around but we may also walk around obstacles or buildings we come across during our stroll. In a park, we may find a fountain or swingset to walk around. We may find a fountain or swingset to walk around. We're walking at the mall, benches and planters interrupt our normal stride. Of course, we have all sorts of things at home that we can happily walk about. Often the reason we walk around these items is pure avoidance, like laundry or clutter. We may also walk around a sleeping dog.
