People who celebrate [X] month anniversaries

I just overheard some girl making plans for her 6 month anniversary with her boyfriend. Now a 6 month anniversary seems somewhat reasonable, if not my kind of thing. But my mother (a high school guidance counselor) claims that kids celebrate 1 month anniversaries. Any girl who would broach the subject of a 1 to 5 month anniversary is a fucking loon.

What do y'all think?

I know couples that do this. For some, I think it's just setting aside that day to spend time with each other -- there are no gifts involved or anything.

But when I was in high school and people took it more seriously, I thought it was fairly ridiculous. What annoyed me the most, though, was that the term "month anniversary" doesn't even make sense, since "anni-" is a prefix meaning "year." Disregarding proper Latin word construction, I called them "monthaversaries."

I can understand doing it at school because, hey, 2 months is a REEEALLLY long time when you're 15. But not as an adult really. Though in the early stages of a relationship I probably would notice the months passing, if not celebrate them.

In some high school relationships I was happy to make it to a weekiversary.

Nickalicious = otm.

In high school it mattered, now it doesn't so much.

What a dumb question.

yeah, sometimes you don't get to see it through a year so you may as well celebrate what you've got. everyday should be celebrated like it's an anniversary.
