How to Raise a Hearty Minnesotan

This morning our family was running absurdly late for school/work. About an hour late, the exact amount of minutes we set our clocks back yesterday. Imagine that, what a coincidence.

Because of this, I was dropping Marissa off at daycare a little before 9:00, well after the kids had eaten breakfast and as the class was starting their morning calendar routine. This is where they work on what day of the week it is, what day yesterday was, what day tomorrow is, the month, season, weather, etc.

They were getting to the weather spinner, where they set the arrow to whatever the weather is for the day. The teacher asked the class, "So everybody, was it cold this morning?"

The answer, without exception, was an emphatic, "No!"

The teacher's answer, "You're right, it was a little warmer today, wasn't it?"

Mind you, it was 23 degrees when I left my house. So clearly "cold" is a relative concept.
