Daily Life, 95

Kindergarten  students, shuffling down the hall in heavy snowboots, swathed to their earlobes with long scarves, encased in zippered snowsuits, dragging mittens....

Announcement over the loudspeakers:
Attention, staff and students.  Due to the extreme wind chill, there will be no outdoor recess today.

One lone, plaintive  little Kindergarten voice:   You mean we went through all that for nothing??
