Snowflakes

My mother does not believe in snow When the news mention that it will snow She thinks it must be a hoax or worse a conspiracy theory Philadelphia has a long history of major winter snows and snow falls But every time that a snow storm is imminent in the city My mother said that the weather people don’t know what they are talking about Looking out for her I say mom they can’t be wrong all the time But she repeats herself and say that it will not snow Her disbelief does not stop her from running to the ACME And buying tons of bread, milk, water, grits and potato chips A Philly tradition And at the first sight of a snowflake I pick up the phone and call mom To verify that it's really snowing Mom pauses on the phone and then she say Its going to rain
