Preventative Measures MAG
November 26, 2014
Cold feet are not
normally the consequence
of anything in particular,
except maybe winter weather
and tiled floors, and the
refusal to wear slippers.
You see, it’ll start snowing
soon, like it always does
in December. And we’ll
get to sleep late and
skip school and hear
younger children screaming
at angels and snowmen
with stick arms. While we
shovel and complain
about winter weather,
even though we remembered
to wear fuzzy socks all
season, so our feet
don’t get colder.
You see, our feet are
cold enough already.
