Snowed In

When I was a kid I never dreamed that teachers would get as excited about a snow day as we did. I just assumed that the teachers lived to torture us with their plans for our education, plotting and planning behind the staff lounge door and hating to see us enjoying ourselves outside of school. Boy, what a fallacy. Who would have guessed that the teachers are JUST AS, IF NOT MORE, psyched when the mighty gods decide to scratch their great, dandruffy heads? And who knew that teachers don't really give a good gosh darn that the kids are having fun at their education's expense?

We've got 4 or 5 inches now, with another 4-8 to fall today and ANOTHER 4-8 tonight. It's like a crazy snow globe outside. And here's a little taste of what we do around here when snowed in...

I am a concerned educator from oregon who never gets snow days. Therefore, I am calling child welfare services in Wisconsin to report teachers who happily shirk their responsibilities and TAKE LONG WALKS instead of doing some kind of research, prepping lessons, or grading backlogged papers! Also, naked barefoot babies in the snow! Laughing!! They'll want to get over there right away to see the fun for themselves and shut it down before it gets out of hand.

And THIS, Chris, is why you fixed the hot tub. That photo of naked Ellis in the snow makes it all worth it!
