Random Thoughts​

When We Went To School

2/1/2019

When school gets cancelled or delayed because it is too cold, a funny thing happens. 

Parents who normally are overprotective (and overbearing) talk about how that never happened when they were kids and that kids aren't tough nowadays. It's funny to me because these are the very same parents who might be largely responsible for any lack of "toughness" in today's youth.

When we went to school, there were no parents who would sue the school district for making us wait for the bus in cold weather. When we went to school, we actually rode the bus, come to think of it. You got dropped off at school by an irritated parent if you missed the school bus.

When we went to school, we ate the hell out of gluten, peanut butter and eggs. Kids were only allergic to bee stings back then. Snow days were a rare thing, but no one had to scramble for child care. We had it nice. You stayed at home with mom or went to grandma's house.

And most importantly, by the time we went to school, they figured out how to make hills uphill in only one direction.

    My brain is a curious thing. It bounces from place to place, from the exceedingly strange to the terribly mundane. Every once in awhile, something will pop into my head that is just completely out of nowhere. Totally random.

    Hence, my "Randos" are random thoughts about different things that come straight from my addled brain onto the page. They are things I wonder about or things I need to have answered but don't know who to ask. Since I'm a writer, I feel compelled to write them down, but there really wasn't a forum to put them out anywhere.

    They are short little missives about different things I encounter, stuff that you can read and laugh at (or with) me and my observations. I hope you enjoy reading them!
