National Scribble Day Is the Fun Holiday You Didn’t Expect

🐊 KNGT 🐊 | Louisiana — Alright y’all… I gotta tell you what I ran across this week, and it might be one of the funniest “National Days” I’ve seen in a while.

Now you know I like to check that National Day calendar. I mean, we celebrate everything these days. Donut Day, Taco Day, even days for stuff I didn’t even know existed. But this one right here… this one made me stop and laugh.

This week, it’s National Scribble Day.

Yeah… scribble. Like the stuff your kid brings home and you gotta turn your head sideways just to figure out what you’re looking at.

What even is a scribble?

According to Webster’s Dictionary, it’s just a drawing or writing done quick and messy. No rules. No pressure. Just kinda… goin’ for it.

And the more I read about it, the more I realized… that might be one of the most real things out there.

Think about it. Every single one of us started out like that. Just a little mess, tryin’ to figure things out. Over time, you add a little here… fix a little there… and before you know it, BAM you're Picasso.

That’s kinda what kids do when they scribble. At first it’s just lines everywhere. But then they add eyes… maybe a smile… and suddenly that scribble turns into a person. It’s wild how fast personality shows up on a piece of paper.

And honestly, that’s the whole point of this day.

National Scribble Day got started back in 2019 by a lady named Diane Alber. She wrote a book called I’m NOT Just a Scribble. The whole idea is simple. Be kind. Be yourself. And don’t worry about being perfect.

Because truth is… every artist you’ve ever seen started the exact same way.

With a scribble.

So here’s the plan. Tonight, grab some crayons, markers, whatever you got laying around. Sit down with the kiddos, or even by yourself, and just draw something. No pressure. No “gotta be good at it.”

Just scribble.

You might laugh. You might make something goofy. But I promise you… you’ll have a good time doing it.

And who knows… you might just find a little piece of yourself in that mess of lines.
