The universe is conspiring against me.
As I got out of the shower this morning, Mike’s phone rang. I thought, “Is it possible we have a two-hour delay? Maybe it’s so cold the buses can’t start?”
Actually, we had a two-hour delay because . . . wait for it . . . it snowed! It snowed! And this is the south. It doesn’t snow here. So we have no idea what to do. This is something I really like about the south. I like to be home when it’s cold and snowy. I like to drink warm beverages and snuggle under blankets. So I was very pleased with this turn of events. Except for the part where each of our phones rang three times with a different two-hour delay message. Six phone calls! Six! To tell us about a two-hour delay!
However, the snow did cause us to have the following conversation:
MIKE: I can’t believe it snowed!
KARI: It’s so pretty!
MIKE: Last night we went to see The Santaland Diaries. And now it’s snowing.
KARI: No.
MIKE: Yes! It’s like Christmas!
KARI: No.
MIKE: Yes! It’s time for you to be in a Christmas spirit!
KARI: No.
MIKE: You won those tickets and now it snowed. I think God is trying to tell you something.
KARI: I don’t think that’s how it works.
MIKE: Merry Christmas! Let’s play some Christmas music!
He’s been singing Christmas songs ever since he got up. Help, help, I’m being repressed!

Tell him that snow means NOTHING. In Indiana it snowed on HALLOWEEN one year. Which is CLEARLY not a time for the holiday spirit. SNOW DOES NOT MEAN CHRISTMAS!

i mean, i know Thanksgiving is late this year and all, but that still doesn’t mean we should just move on past it! IT COUNTS TOO! And not just as a time to celebrate the beginning of the Christmas spirit…MIKE!

It’s just winter. Mike, who grew up a Yankee, should know better.
[Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh.]
