We anxiously checked the weather. They were calling for freezing rain followed by snow which would make for treacherous morning driving. School closures seemed eminent and Ladybug, despite a two week break for Christmas, secretly longed for a snow day. There is something special about a snow day. It's like you are getting away with something, but it's okay.
Superstitious myths were passed by word of mouth. Things that would *guarantee* a snow day. Dutifully Ladybug followed through on each and every one.
- Flush ice cubes down the toilet
- Sleep with your pajamas backwards
- Sleep with a spoon under your pillow
Morning came with just a small dusting of snow and zero school closures and major disappointment. Despite all the measures taken, Ladybug had to go to school, and thus the Myth of how to ensure a Snow Day was busted.
What is it that make Snow Days so different, special and longed for?
