Don't Think Twice, It's Alright
No snow, no fog! So the kids actually have to go to school today!
EDIT: This is what the men do when they don't have school.
I swear there was something profound or really fuuny I was gonna mention, and I was sure I'd remember it!
Alas, 'tis not to be...
Well, we did have an interesting conversation about birds this morning, me and the men.
Sam: Hey! There's birds on the deck!
Me: Oh? Birds? What kind? Big black crows? Thieving magpies? Hideous vultures?
Sam: No...just fat little birds.
Me: Oh.
Gabe: They're hummingbirds!
Me: Nuh-uh! Hummingbirds only eat nectar from certain pretty flowers.
Gabe: What do they do in the winter?
Me: They just die, I guess.
Gabe: They hibernate!
Me: Birds don't hibernate.
Sam: Poppa! Birds don't die!
OK, that was pretty much it.

Dood! Um... I dunno how to tell you this, but birds typically fly south for the winter. Even if that's not necessarily true of every species, telling the little men that birds just up and DIE is... whoa, dood.
You realize I'm taunting you, of course.

Oh! they knew I was joking and were responding with mock-indignation! I would never poison the minds of the men, except to instill in them some measure of good taste in music, to ward off the Hannah Montanas and High School Musicals before they get a chance to sink their claws into their young ears...
crap!
too late!
grrrrrrr!
