Kids' Snow Day

Just last night we got two feet of snow, enough to make all of the school’s close, kids get excited, ready to blow, made them put on all their heavy clothes, what happened next everybody knows, the boys ran outside, started a row, air crisscrossed with snowballs they throw, if you get hit you feel slushy woe until soaked socks chill up the toes, how winter should be, I deem it so! My teenage daughter flips through her phone, into the white she’s too ‘cool’ to go, the couch, it seems, is permanent home, my son with snowball creeps up real low, I hear her shrieks, and just say,”Oh no.” This day really does belong to the snow.
