Welcome to the show everybody. Congratulations on getting to the weekend alive.

We're hunkering down for some snow this weekend around these parts.

And I'm really looking forward to it. I'm looking forward to the familiar

parenting ritual, which every parent is familiar with, where you know, you spend 75 minutes

getting the kids bundled up and they're 19 different layers and you get the boots on and

everything else. And invariably you're always missing like one glove and one hat. And then you go

looking for it and someone has to wear mismatched gloves and they start crying about that because

they want gloves at match. But then they're upset because the hat is too cold or too itchy or whatever

and then you get them all bundled up all padded, you know, like they're like they're a glass

vase that you're about to ship FedEx across the country. And then of course one of them has to pee

as soon as you get them bundled. So you get them unbundled and they pee and then you get them re-bundled

and then you go outside. And as soon as you get outside, one of them takes the gloves off and starts

crying because their hands are cold and then another one falls face first, face planting in the snow

and starts crying because of that and you're laughing because it's kind of funny. And then you

sled for maybe 92 seconds before everybody wants to go inside because they're bored in their cold.

And then now you're yelling at them like no you're gonna have fun. We are having fun. Get down

here and make a snow angel. This is fun. This is family time. Have fun, dammit. But now everyone's

crying including yourself. And so you go back inside and you take off all the clothes and then

you do it again two hours later. But at least your wife gets the picture of the 45 seconds,

the 45 second period where everybody was momentarily happy. Your wife gets the picture of that

and puts it on Facebook with a caption like snow day with the fam. And then the good thing is that

every other parent can see the picture and can get angry at their own kids for ruining the snow day
