OK, this is intended to be tongue in cheek, but I have to ask…
Is there an umbrella ban in SESD? None of the children I saw waiting for the bus this morning in the rain were using umbrellas. The only thing that I can figure is that since an umbrella is a potential weapon, umbrellas have been banned.
Come to think of it, none of them were wearing raincoats, either. I guess raincoats are not “cool”.
The cool thing must be to get to school soaking wet, then complain all morning about being wet from the rain.
I was, and still am, the wimpy one who does not like for my hair to get wet so, I always wore a raincoat to school and have several umbrella’s in the car, at work & at home.
Funny you mention this. The other week when it was only 45 degrees at 7:00 a.m., I saw kids at the high school bus stop in short sleeves, shorts & flip flops! They looked like they were freezing! Meanwhile, my daughter sat in my warm car, wearing jeans, a t-shirt, a long sleeve hoodie and shoes & socks. No way would I have even let her walk out the door wearing summer attire on 45 degree morning when the forecast only called for the temperature to rise to about 60 degrees. Just becasue the calendar says it’s spring, it does not mean that the weather will match the calendar.
