geez. we got a 2-hour delay if the snow was to ur chin in high school. we were that one school skipped on those delay/closings they would stream through.
elementary school:
my Mom: 'get in the shower. it's a school day. quit that incessant whining. quit that whining, or there'll be cream-of-nothing on this table fer breakfast. when u listen, there may, & i mean may, be cocoa pebbles available. then u can drink the milk- by the time u get throgh having that cereal, that'll be chocolate milk.' i'm getting ur Dad. that's enough of this.'
Dad would groggily arrive on the scene.
'aubrey! get to snooze, now, or i'll put u over my knee!'
mom: '-----!' 'i'm trying toget her ready for school!'
dad: 'aubrey! get ready for school! now!
me: 'u said i hafta stay in my room, Dad.'
Dad-might you be testing my authority, aubrey'
geez.
