Obama + Mamatime! = Go to Skool, Pussies!!!!

Obama being pissed re: DC schools being so quick to shut down due to weather cracked me up, and made me think of my mother. As I posted before in this story about my wanting a set of Barbie dolls (cough), my mother would lose her mind every time my school would shut down cause of three flakes of snow.

Both my parents were from parts of Lowell, Massachusetts, but while my father quickly adopted a Southern drawl and took to sipping iced tea while taking us from one Civil War battlefield to the next, my mother preferred to smoke her Winston 100s and pull her hair out wondering why the hell this hick town school system would shut down for a mere 8 inches of snow on the ground. “We used to go to school in a blizzard!!!” “Well, you lived in a city.” “Edmund, shut the hell up!” “I’m Xmastime!” “Whichever, you little (beep) redneck.”

Ha! :)
