Apparently, New York City is getting rid of snow days once and for all. And many parents are up in frost-bitten arms about it. Me? I’m warming up to the news. If children want to indulge in a white-out weekday of non-stop sledding and snowball fights, they should do what adults do – lie. Coming up with a believable excuse is a part of growing up. Playing hooky is not something sanctioned by wealthy school administrators, laying by the fires inside their scenic chalets. Not only that, but snow days demonstrate an indefensible bias in favor of Old Man Winter. What else explains the lack of wind and rain days?
