Yesterday, one of
my students told me her foolproof method for getting a snow day. This is what she said:
1. Throw an ice cube into the toilet while
doing a snow dance
2. Sleep with your pajamas inside out
3. Sleep with a spoon under your pillow
Now you better
believe that I did all of those things last night. It might sound pretty silly to everyone else but it
WORKED.
After I got home yesterday,
I really felt like I needed a day. My mom would always call them mental health
days when I was younger. Just a
little extra time to work on my grad school projects, do some reading, finish
work for school, do the laundry, and sleep. It was a lovely day.
Next time you want
a snow day, I suggest following the advice above from one smart seven-year old.
We ALL thank you for doing this routine :) You most definitely can thank your student for me, too!
ReplyDeleteI never heard of the ice cube trick before - but since it worked - I'll add it to my repertoire of pajamas backwards, sppons under pillow and going into be on the wrong (different) side!
ReplyDeleteThis made me laugh...and now I am sure she is even more convinced of her method!
