There really is nothing better than standing in a warm cozy house, drinking tea, watching your children brave weather you haven't loved since childhood. It is beautiful when it snows, but only from the inside looking out!
"MOM, IT'S SNOWING! PLEASE CAN WE GO OUTSIDE?"
turtle necks, where is your other mitten, you must wear socks with your boots, yes, you need a hat...and a scarf, don't take your mittens off outside, you will get frost bite....it's when your skin freezes and it hurts like crazy...yes, i have it on my toe....there is nothing to see...ok, i'll start the hot chocolate...stay in the backyard...because the plows will run you over...yes they will...yes they will...they can't see you.....because you are small....I know you are a big, but you are smaller than a plow
(Have I mentioned they call Noah question boy at school?)
what do you mean you are ready to come in...you have only been out for 10 minutes....ok, here is your hot chocolate
what? you just got warmed up, no you can't go back out...because you just got in...yes, you could have stayed out longer, but you wanted to come in....i know it's still snowing...it snows all winter, it will not melt for a while...alright, but you're getting yourself dressed this time...come here, you've got your mittens on the wrong hands
And so it begins again. My dad chuckles and I swear I heard him mutter something about paybacks under his breath.
