Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for February 16, 2024

You can’t skip, but you can skweenk.

Skip it.

Things’d take off on a windy day!!

I remember wearing ’’whistle’’ britches, aka corduroy pants. Never had ’’weenk’’ pants.

You can hear her coming….for sure!

A bigger coat and a good hill she could roll with the best of them…

Don’t snowpants go shshshsh?

Next door neighbor kid had plastic snowpants but no sled. He’c come over to our hill and after a few toboggans and saucers had made a grove in the snow, proceeded to slide down on his rump. It worked.

You can’t do much of anything in snow pants. Then add the jacket, hat, mittens, and boots. You’re just stuck in one spot. Plus, Alice is on a dry sidewalk. Wait until she tries moving in actual snow .

I loved my snow pants because I could go sledding with no sled. I had a sled, but it was fun to slide without it if the slope was steep enough.

The boys wisely stay quiet.

She stepped on a crack!
