Hey Nice Socks!!!
Thanks I wear them every March 21st. A.K.A…… WORLD Down Syndrome Day!!!

Down Syndrome, What does March 21st have to do with down syndrome?
Down syndrome is also known as trisomy 21. trisomy (3) and 21 for the representation of the 21st chromosome. See someone one with down syndrome has 3 copies of the 21st chromosome and most, but most definitely not all people only have 2 copies of each chromosome..

How many chromosome do people have?
Most of the world population has 46

What do you do for world down syndrome day?
Some people wear funky bright, or mismatched socks…..

SOCKS!!? Why socks?
From what I hear is its because they kinda look like a chromosome in a petri dish, (You know science labs and super smart stuff). And by wearing bright bold funky or mismatched socks it brings attention to yourself so you can say, “I rock my Socks for someone with down syndrome.” Its to bring awareness and acceptance, its silly but it works. (High to the 5, to the one who started the sock trend) Plus socks are socks, right? Just like people are people. Even if we are made a little bit differently we all have the same feelings.

Do they do anything else for world down syndrome day?
People also do random acts of kindness, where blue and yellow, and most of all we CELEBRATE the people who are in our live that have down syndrome.

Who gets down syndrome?
People don’t GET, down syndrome. (And people don’t “get” down syndrome) It happens during the process of being created. Just like your color of hair is created and if you have freckles or not is created. Down Syndrome is just like a lucky 7 in a casino, or the beautiful rare red-headed green-eyed girl. It just Happens, nothing can be done to get it, and your can’t do anything to create it.

So is down syndrome cool?
Are you cool, aren’t my socks cool enough for you to say “nice socks”?
Yes, Down Syndrome has many ways of being cool.

Okay thanks, now I know about Down Syndrome and next year ill wear my socks.

Down syndrome affects people of all kinds, people of all race, all color, people from all over. So WORLD DOWN SYNDROME day happens every year on 3/21. March 21st, to represent the 3 copies of the 21st chromosome.

HAPPY WORLD DOWN SYNDROME DAY FROM OUR FAMILY TO YOURS
