Snow??
Across the south today, snow was expected in Georgia, Tennessee, and Alabama. Last year it snowed in these southern states, Atlanta specifically, and the Snowpocalypse happened. With that in mind, schools were cancelled and offices announced they would be closed due to the impending storm. In Birmingham, when I woke up this morning, I figured that nothing would happen because it wasn't even cold enough for snow. It rained all day. Essentially, my little brother missed school and my parents skipped work due to rain.
Disrupted Plans
I was planning to use this Wednesday to search for part time job opportunities around the city, so the rain played no role in my day's activities. However, my parents urged that today wouldn't be a good day to search for employment because of the lack of open businesses that were fearful of the storm. This led me to sit around the house and harass my kid brother all day. During a session of roughhousing in his room, an interesting thing happened.
Roughhousing
It's important to note that my kid brother is now in 7th grade, that age when he can somewhat fight back during our skirmishes. While we wrestled and bounced around his room, he retaliated to my shenanigans, causing me to stumble backwards a few steps into the window. We heard the breaking of glass and stopped. My butt broke the window.
After discovering the extent of the damage we caused (and our subsequent laughter), we devised a plan to fix the situation. Using the top of a Nike sneaker box and duct tape, we were able to seal up the hole. In the end, we told the parents what happened because it would have made more sense to tell them then, rather than wait and cause more drama for trying to hide it.
In my defense, I blame Alabama schools for canceling the day's activities, because if he had been in school, none of this would have happened. Snow Days are always full of adventures . . . Even if it doesn't snow.
