Here are some fun and humorous facts about the month of September:

• September is basically the "Monday" of months – it’s when summer ends and school or work routines kick back in full force. It’s like the calendar’s way of saying, “Surprise! Responsibility time!”

• The name September comes from the Latin word for seven ("septem"), but it’s actually the ninth month. Talk about a calendar identity crisis!

• September babies are statistically some of the smartest — perhaps because they’ve just survived the back-to-school chaos and are ready to conquer the world.

• In the Northern Hemisphere, September is the only month that begins on the same day of the week as December — so if you’re looking for a sneak peek of the holidays, just check your September calendar!

• Labor Day in the US is in September, which is ironic since it celebrates workers — yet most people spend the day doing zero work.

• September’s birthstone is the sapphire, which is supposed to bring wisdom and protection. So if you’re born in September, you’re basically a walking, talking lucky charm!

• “September” is the only month whose length stays the same number of days in both the Julian and Gregorian calendars — sounds like the dependable friend of months.

• The autumnal equinox usually happens in September, which means day and night are roughly equal — the universe’s way of saying, “Let’s call it even.”

Hope these give you a chuckle and some neat trivia for September!
