The Day After a Snow Day - School Delay

Yesterday was a snow day, today there was a two-hour delay for schools in Arlington County. Honestly, the kids don't get any recess time as it is. They should just have the kids go to school. School doesn't even have to open. My dad's experience at the Battle of the Bulge shows that people can be outside in the cold and in the snow for hours. Sure, he was seriously wounded but he always said that he enjoyed that more than he did his time after the war in a prisoner of war camp. They had to do all these rebuilding projects and they used to talk about how they never thought about how they had to rebuild everything after the blew it up. Anyway, with the kids, even if their shoes get cold because they didn't listen to me and wore flip flops and stepped in an icy puddle will not end their lives. What will end their lives is if they don't stop asking me to do things for them that they can do for themselves.
