Mother’s Against Nature

They did not cancel school today, despite a wind chill, when I woke up, of 37 DEGREES BELOW ZERO.  Whatever.  Whatever you have to do to keep your little school district going.

But as a MOTHER, I could not, would not, will not, do not send MY CHILD out into the world when it is 37 DEGREES BELOW ZERO.  Never ever.  No apologies.  Nope, will NOT do it.  Nothing is worth that.

I can NOT imagine the parent that thinks it is ok to subject a child to that for 2 hours’ worth of kindergarten on a shortened day.  Nope.

This Mother kept her child home, warm, safe, and happy on this day, February 20, 2008, when the wind chill reached an official 41 below zero.

Send my five-year-old out in that?  You have to be fucking KIDDING ME.  He wins.  You lose.  Go away.
