National Hole in My Bucket Day | May 30

#holeinmybucketday

Henry and Liza's back-and-forth discussion is about a back-and-forth conversation, which has its roots in 1700 Germany. Henry Henry has to replace his leaky bucket. Henry begs Liza for assistance in each stanza. To repair his bucket, he needs a bucket to carry water.

Although this annual event was inspired by a musician's inability with repairing a leaky bucket, there are other ways to commemorate this day. When a once usable bucket becomes a hole, we're sure it's a bit of a bummer. However, not all is lost. Holey buckets still serve a purpose. Although they can no longer hold liquids (or hold them tightly), they can also hold volumes of mass. It can do many jobs depending on where the hole is located.
