March 5-- I was driving my 3 year old to preschool today and noticed that teenagers don't wear coats anymore.
It's 20 degrees outside with sky high snow, and all of the high school students standing around waiting for the bus just had t-shirts on. This slightly concerns me a bit.

I was never the brightest student growing up. I even got a "D" in 10th grade algebra. But, if it was 20 degrees outside with mountains of snow I pretty much knew it was a good day for a "coat".

At the next corner there was another group of tomorrow's finest waiting for the bus and in this group several of the young men had their underpants hanging out. Their pants were half way down their butts so we all could check out their favorite boxer shorts--in the snow.

I was never the smartest kid growing up. I even got a "D" in 12th grade biology. But, if it was 20 degrees outside with monstrous hills of snow I pretty much knew it was a good day for a "belt".

I pulled up to the preschool and my son hopped out of the car with his coat and belt on. He said today was "numbers" day and that they were learning how to "count to 10". I walked him to the door and told him to "enjoy his knowledge while he could", because someday he'll be in high school and most likely not even be smart enough to wear a coat and belt in the Winter.


I hope you survive Another Day In The Gray.
