When Cady Heron (Lindsay Lohan) joined the Plastics, the most popular clique in school, Regina George (Rachel McAdams), Karen Smith (Amanda Seyfried), and Gretchen Wieners (Lacey Chabert) taught her everything she needed to know about being a high school icon.

While “Mean Girls” Day celebrates the film, it is celebrated on Oct. 3 because of the very important conversation Cady had with her crush Aaron Samuels (Jonathan Bennett).

“It’s October 3rd,” she replied.
