Today is May 2, 2013. Today there is a two hour late start for school due to.......snow and ice. I mentioned it's May 2nd right? No one is happy in western Iowa this morning least of which is Eli. This very uncommon (last time was 1960 something) snow event has schools delayed this morning. That is not why Eli is disgruntled. He is a kid after all.
Number one thing to make him unhappy? Having to take the dog outside for his business. It's cold, it's icy and being the "he man" he thinks he is, he refused to put on appropriate clothing. Shorts and snow boots were his choice for the chore.....yep he was cold. As all our neighbors can testify because they probably heard him complaining a 1/2 mile away.
Once he and his much chillier self got back inside, he went to the kitchen window and with hands on hips thought to teach me how inappropriate and wrong it was for us to have snow.....again. According to him, the Philippines don't have snow right now and why does Iowa have so much and we never have had snow before in May, we should be like the Philippines. I think he may believe we've pulled a fast one on him and that this freaky May weather is the norm and what he's experienced since coming home is actually unusual. It's probably a good thing he wasn't adopted into a family in Alaska.
