But I can't complain, because they SURVIVED and everything they did led directly to ME, Just wish they could see how I turned out so theyd know all their sacrifices were WORTH it.
I guess mere ALL lucky to be here, because human beings have had to go through a LOT to get to where we are now.
At school we learned that 10,000 years ago a big sheet of ice covered half the planet. And if people made it through THAT I guess we can through ANYTHING.
My teacher said that one day the Earth is genna be in another ice age and the glaciers will some back, but I hope it doesn't happen any time SOON.
I've heard glaciers move SLOWLY, which is a good thing. Because maybe we'll have a chance to DO something about it.
I don't know which is worse, a planet that's too HOT or one that's too COLD. All I know is that today it was cold, and it wasn't fun walking to school in the morning.
I tried to cheer myself up by thinking of things I LIKE about the winter, but I came up with a really short list. Christmas is great and all, but after that it's just a long slog to the spring.
I've decided the only thing that actually makes winter worth it is the HOT CHOCOLATE. I used to be on the Safety Patrols, and I'd get free hot chocolate at school. But after I got kicked off I had +o start bringing my OWN.
Lately I've been filling a thermos with hot chocolate every morning, and that keeps me warm on the walk to school.
But today Dad must've grabbed MY thermos and left me with HIS. And I didn't realize what had happened until I took a giant gulp of cream of mushtooM soup.
I wish Mom and Dad would drive me to school in the morning, but they leave a half-hour before I do.
There are some kids on my hill whose parents drive them in on cold days like today. But when me and Rowley try to flag them down to hitch a ride they won't even make eye contact. And that really stinks, because us hill kids are supposed to have each other's BACKS.
It was so cold out today that the teachers decided to keep us indoors for recess, which was perfectly fine with ME.
The LAST time we had outdoor recess on a day like today Albert Sandy was saying it was so cold that your spit would freeze before it hit the GROUND,
