One Big Happy by Rick Detorie for December 13, 2009

You’re just a little too early kids.

Wait til tomorrow. Maybe by then this snowfall will become a blizzard and you’ll have plenty of snow.

The cardboard is what is used when there is no snow.

Then someone won’t know the cardbord is still there under the snow, and they’ll slip down the hill.

I remember sliding down a hill in a cardboard box. It was wild because you gave up any hope of even trying to control the ride.

The kids are pretty creative with his idea and why not have some fun. The only problem is to undue what is done. Bummer.

Faith and hope.

Using a Banana leaf is a pretty effective way to slide down a grassy hill too. Steering is done by holding (towards yourself) the thicker stalk part of the leaf. Wheeeeeee!

Of course…there are no Banana trees near me these days, but ahhhhh…the memories!

“Then someone won’t know the cardbord is still there under the snow, and they’ll slip down the hill.”

…but won’t they do that on the snow anyway?

Wait a decade and then see what happens when you wash your car.

And now they have learned, the weather forecast is NOT accurate to the minute…
