here's a swell idea

for all you folks who run home day cares in minnesota, i have a great idea for how to pass the time on one of our sunny, a**-cracking cold mornings:
  • bundle up all the kids in your charge. make sure there are at least five of them, all under four years old.
  • put the baby in a regular stroller rather than a jogging one, so you have enormous difficulty steering over the snow.
  • because both your hands are needed to pilot the stroller, have the little ones just hold on to each other when you all cross the street.
  • now make sure to cross some busy intersections. don't worry if some of the kids head in a different direction as you – they'll catch up eventually!
jesus h. tap-dancing christ. and she was heading for the creek with all those kids. the creek!

all i can glean from this sighting is that people: 
a) are insane,
b) have waaaay more faith in the universe than i do, and 
c) are insane (i really can't stress this point enough).

Woman, you crack me up. I can just imagine this row of little bundled people following behind her and her stroller.

I had to wear a sweater today. It was down to 58 degrees. Brrrr.
