Cold Day

What do kids do on cold, snowy days?  Well when I was young we played in the snow.....threw snow balls at one another....maybe built a snowman.  On a good day maybe make snow angels.  We bundled up and enjoyed the winter weather.  Kicked around the fluffy white stuff and of course shoveled because as my father said thats what he had a kid for ( chuckles ).  

        Today kids see cold days differently, it's just another excuse to sit inside and play with the toys of today.  Not like a game of checkers, where they could possibly interact with someone else but with their I-Pods and tablets.  A cold day to the children of this day and age means sitting on the couch watching TV..... ear buds in listening to music at the same time.

                       You ask them to shovel snow and unless you specify that you want everything shoveled it seems to only take them a few minutes...... a path big enough for a little person to walk through.  

               Oh to be young again and feel the joy of just playing around.  Now when I see the fluffy white stuff, all I think about are the idiots who don't know how to drive in the winter...... scraping the ice off the windshield of my car and the fact that I am getting old and the cold really does bother me.
