Things I didn't know growing up as a kid in the California Bay Area:
- There were schools in the world that were totally indoors.
- Gloves/mittens weren't just a fashion statement.
- Rain is not just a winter weather phenomenon.
- There were children in other parts of the country (i.e. Fargo) who were outside having recess in 0 degree temperatures.
- Bike riding, roller blading, and walking to friend's houses are not year-round activities.
- They make "block heaters" that allow people to actually plug their car into a socket to keep it reasonably warm.
- Winter doesn't just mean "Christmastime."
I know now.
On a bit of a side note, I think I look a little bit like that dude when I'm bundled up. Sort of like a popsicle stick. I think I'd look better in lavender than he does, though ...
ReplyDeleteOne more thing: 70 degrees today.
:)
ReplyDeleteYep, even in Utah you don't realize some of those things (although we aren't AS ignorant! jk) :)
I still don't know how you manage out there...but glad you are still alive and loving it! :) We miss you guys!
