We have all known a grouch at some point and time. In fact we all most likely have been a grouch some time along the way. Sometimes it is a simple favor that will break that bad mood , that slump we find ourselves in, and simply offer us that hand up. For some though there may be nothing that can be done to make them smile. That grouchy neighbor ( not any of my neighbors as we all get along real well) or someone else that never seems happy. However, do that one little favor you may get a surprise when a smile comes up on their face.
It is not quite sure who invented this day. Was it someone who had a grouch to live with?? Was a goody too shoes trying to get everyone smile?? It may have even been Big Bird from Sesame Street who wanted to see Oscar not live up to his name one day. The 'grump' is a character that has not been given the best description. Grouches have been around for ever it seems being portrayed in the ancient Greek plays featuring grumpy characters and not grouches.
No matter who the grouch in your life is Do a Grouch a Favor Day is a great time to surprise them with a favor Even if the favor is a simple smile and a polite chat it may do the trick so that for one moment the grouch is pronounced happy. You may even see a different side to the person that you feel is a grouch.
