Ok. I've seen like three posts about what Frank is posting about, and I finally figured it out last night when I was talking to my mom. There's a story about how it went. If you don't want to read the story, skip to the bottom. I'm going to write the short version after the stroy. Here it goes...
(Mom) "Hey. What's today's date?"
(Me) "The fourth."
(Mom)"Are you sure? Let's see. Easter is this Sunday so..." *counts silently* "Yep. You're right. thursday-fifth. friday-sixth. saturday-seventh. and sunday-eighth."
(Me) *jumps up and down sqealing*
(Mom) *gives me a weird look* "What?! What?1 What?! What are you jumping up and down for?! Calm down!"
(Me) "MOOOOM!! Why did you have to remind me?!?! UUUGGGHHH!!" *still jumps and sqeals*
(Mom) "Remind you of what?! Calm down, Amber!" *gives me another weird look*
(Me) *calms down a little and sits in a stool/ then wiggles in stool* "Mom!! FRANK HAS BEEN DOING THIS TWITTER THING. Not that I go on Twitter. I read something. AND HE WAS DOIND THIS COUNTDOWN AND IT ENDS THIS SATURDAY!!!"
(Mom) "Yes! Because Lent ends saturday. Well, that's the last day. Then, it's Easter."
(Me) "THEN, WHY WOULD HE START COUNTING IN LATIN OR GREEK OR SOMETHING?!?!"
(Mom) "Well, of course he did! Amber. You are completely clueless about your religion." *walks away*
(Me) *stares at her as she walks away* "Oh yeah. Frank was raised Catholic like me."
SHORT VERSION:
Frank is counting down for EASTER/THE END OF LENT
My mom is a genius.
