The Possibility of a Snow Day

This is a rerun of a previous Snow Day comic. Well here we are, mere hours away from the first accumulating snowfall of the year. In teacher language, it’s Christmas Eve. The sugar plums are dancing in our heads and dreams of the phone ringing in the morning are all we are thinking about. Personally, I am fondly remembering a snow in ‘ 96, back in the day. When a small little clipper was headed our way. That was the beginning of week off of school. It was beautiful. The snow kept falling. It is quite early for snowfall for us so this year should be full of backwards pajamas, flushing toilets, and ringing telephones. For those of you unschooled, the latter is a snowdance. May the dancing begin!

The Cleaning Fairy

After talking with my Mother this weekend, I realized that the cleaning fairy must pay a visit to her house quite often. Otherwise she is quite sure that her house would be a mess. When I was a kid, this same conversation dripped with sarcasm, now it is just a way for her to let off steam. I know there are millions across the nation that believe these small, diligent little creatures to be a reality. These people go about their daily lives and amazingly enough, the laundry is clean and folded, perhaps even pressed, the house is dusted and vacuumed, and dinner appears each night between 5:30 and 6:00. I hope these little guys are unionized, they work too hard not to be.
