Day 25: A song about a winter storm
Anyone else remember waiting for the bus cancellations being called out on the radio?

'Say my bus number, say my bus number.'

'YES! NO SCHOOL TODAY!!' Run to sibling's room, yell at them. Run to parents room, yell it at them. Run to the window and giggle while pulling on snowpants. Snow storms hit waaaay differently as a kid

Snowday - Tabitha Meeks and Ryan Corn
