Slick Slick Slick!!!

The weather in South Dakota is so weird this time of year! One day it will be so beautiful you won't need more that a light hoodie. The next day however, it will be so bad school will be called off! Seriously, that's what happended this past week! Anyway, so you can just imagine how slushy, muddy, and then slick things get! So, this morning when we got up for school my mom had stayed up (she works nights) to let us know that the outside steps (which are kind'of long)were really slick and to be careful! She then went on to let us know that she was afraid one of us girls would go running to the car at the last minute and fall all the way down the steps, and possibly break something. We thanked her and went our way. However, as soon as we got outside my "graceful" brother went sliding all the way down the steps! (with trumpet, back pack, and laptop in hand)...It was really panicky because there was nothing any of us could do to help him. He then proceded to lay on the ground a little dazed and in A LOT of pain! Anyway...i guess the moral to that is listen to your mom when she stays up from a long night at work to let you know it's slick outside...! I guess that's really not fair though because he was actually being VERY careful!!! lol I know it's not funny, but it actually kind'of is!
