Yesterday was a snow day. Yes, another snow day. Number seven so far and probably more to come.
Snow days usually go about the same for me every time. Yesterday i got up and my mom told me it was a 2 hour delay. I was very glad with this since I could use some extra sleep. I went back to bed for another 2 hours. Right when i was about to get up my mother came in once again but now told me that school was closed. I was kind of bummed actually. Sad to say, but i would have rather had school.
Yes, snow days can be a nice break from school, but when you live in the country and the road gets drifted shut its not so fun. I only live one mile down a gravel road but the road is the worst. Its always bad and theres always multiple cars in the ditch. Just in that short mile to my house.
My snow day started out okay since i got that extra 2 hours of sleep but then it was just boering from there. My two younger sisters were thrilled that i got to stay home. So yes, that ment a whole day spending quality time with them. Which was okay by me i guess. First we started out playing nintindo. Lydia,my 5 year old sister is addicted to the game so i thought id be nice and play with her. I found it quite sad though that she was almost better than me and knew all of the little tricks that i didnt. Yet, I still kept playing with her even though she kept making fun of me for not catching the mushrooms.
As soon as we were finished with the game, both sisters wanted to watch a movie in my room. They think there cool when they get to come to there big sisters room, since i dont let them in here very much. I picked out a few movies that i could stand watching. From the movies i choose, Lydia and Ella picked to watch Annie. We sat down, and watched the movie which was actually very good.
As soon as that was over Lydia and I, once again sat down to play nintendo. I could only stand about 5 minutes of that so i went to my room to do a puzzle, which is not to exciting but i thought id make the day go a little faster. Finally the day was almost over. I got to end my great snow day by watching another movie with my sisters. This time it was a Princess Barbie movie. All together, my snow day was very boering. That is why I would rather be at school.

Kids say the darnest things
Children are amazing when it comes to the fact that they can say whatever they want. They often times say things that they maybe should not have shared with people. I work at a daycare and i constantly hear crazy stories. Some funny, and some i wish i had never heard.
There is one child in particular that never knows when to stop talking and comes up with the craziest stories. The other day she came up to me and started telling this wonderful story about how her parents were pirates. She went on and explained how working as pirates they have very dangerous jobs and how she couldnt tell everyone about there jobs because she was afraid the bad pirates would get them. I thought this story was hilarious but tried to hold back my laughter because i needed to explain to her that she can joke around but she needed to not make up such crazy stories and tell people that she is only joking. She was actually trying to make me believe that her parents were pirates. Im 18 years old, does she really think i would believe such a thing.
Another crazy story where a child says what they feel happened with my cousin Logan when he was 5. Logan was at my great grandmas house for the day and was talking to her. He looked at her with a serious face and asked "Why is your skin falling off your bones grandma"? He went on and wondered why she had all those cracks in her face. She told him it was because she was getting old. Its hilarious, yet sad what kids can say.
There are many other silly things i hear just from listening to childs conversations. There is a little girl that is 6 years old and was singing a song. I thought she was just singing a happy little tune like Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, like most other children do. But i was wrong. I went up closer to her so i could hear better. The child was singing 15 Bottles of Beer on the Wall. Yes, this 6 year old child. Although it was funny I had to tell her that it was not school appropriate and she could not sing it at school anymore. She went on to say that her grandparents and family members sing this when they drink and she sings along. She apparently did not know that she couldnt talk about this at school.
I find myself laughing to myself at work. Kids simply, just say what the want. Its like the show "Kids Say the Darnest Things". It is true,kids do say the darnest things. Its amazing what children can say and the stories they can tell.
