Once A Week

Exploring the concept of weekly rituals, A.A. Milne humorously examines the anticipation surrounding activities like theater visits and special dinners. He whimsically imagines daily events, such as "Monday muffins" and "Friday fireworks," while satirizing society's obsession with schedules and the tendency to create excitement through arbitrary routines. Written in Milne's signature witty style, this essay offers a delightful glimpse into early 20th-century life, blending charm with keen social commentary.
