Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow yesterday, predicting 6 more weeks of winter.
I charged the boys with folding the laundry while was making dinner. This was sort of how their conversation went:
Jonny: "MOM!!....Is Punxsutawney a city or a country?"
Me: "A city."
Jonny: "Ha-Ha Lex, I told you so!"
Lex: "Whatever, Punxsutawney is a stupid name. It must be another country."
Jonny: "Mom!!....Do you think the ground hog really saw its shadow, or was he afraid of the paparazzi?"
Mom: "The reporters?"
Jonny: "Yeah, I mean groundhogs are really small animals. If I went to the zoo and shined a light on a small animal- it is going to run away. The stupid paparazzi caused 6 more weeks of winter."
Lex: "He didn't run away because he was a small animal. He saw his own shadow and he ran away because he was scared."
Jonny: "Maybe they should have gotten a dog-whisperer to talk to the ground hog. They have special ways with animals."
(At this point and I am trying not to pee on myself)
Jonny: "That's it! Next year only the dog-whisperer should go and see the ground hog. We want summer to come sooner."
