A Bit Foggy…
Ethan was sick and the day Rumsfeld resigned he wasn’t at school. When he came to school the next day…
Teacher: Ethan, where were you yesterday?
Ethan: In Washington for the elections…
Teacher: Really?
Ethan: Yep, I made Rumsfeld and offer he couldn’t refuse.
Yep, my son puts the smart in smartass.

Monday, if that weren’t bad enough, it’s also foggy. It’s been foggy all weekend. Which means that every kid in town is anxiously tuned into the news (probably the only time 70% of watch it) waiting for the announcement of the “Fog Delay” list.
My kids got up and checked the website to see if their districts were calling a delay. Delays mean they don’t have to show up until 10:30am and 11:20am (high school).
So far… nothing. Which means I’m annoyed because, truly, the fog is really bad this morning. I can’t even see the house across the street.

Geeez-us, no wonder ya’ll have “fog delays”. I’ve never even heard of such things though.

Blah, what a morning. We NEVER have school delays for anything here. It is after all the stinking desert!

Here, we pray for it to rain, and then be cold enough to ice over the next morning, making bridges impassable. It hasn’t happened in 8 years… But we still hope and pray and say voodoo chants and sacrifice goats!

Miss Britt He’s quite the card, no?
Drib It shocked me when I realized that this is apparently something just common here in California or something… the fog rolls in, makes it almost impossible to drive. You know when it snows hard and visibility is nothing? That’s what it’s like when the fog is bad.
Crazy Lady Stinking un-fun desert. You should get heat delays or something.
Tense Teacher ROTFLOL - you know there are teachers here town that have their kids do “fog delay” dances or chants. LOL It’s pretty funny!

Mike’s no dummy. He knows if he wakes up and actually SEES anything, he could be forced to testify.
If he stays asleep, he’ll be of better use to your insanity defense.
