It’s obviously not PC for children to play in Snow! At school they have been told they cannot throw snowballs because there could be ice in them – and then someone gets hurt. I can imagine many a parent moaning to the Head about how their child has got wet\/hurt\/upset – so, to some extent can understand why the school may make that rule.<\/p>\n

But that’s okay because we can still have fun on the school run right?<\/p>\n

We walked home on Monday this week. There wasn’t much snow about, but on Friday together they had made a small Snowman.<\/p>\n

You may think he looks a little different<\/a> from before.<\/p>\n

And they wished to make a SnowDog to go with it. They collected it bit by bit on the walk home. And once they had a reasonable amount for the body, my 9 year old handed it to my 5 year old, so that he could make a head.<\/p>\n

But then disaster struck!<\/p>\n

The 5 year old DROPPED the snow!!!!!<\/p>\n

He was disappointed, but handled it well. The 9 year old tried to scoop it back together, but just couldn’t seem to do it. I couldn’t help as it was near a reasonably busy road and there was no way I could risk letting go of my youngest hand. We agreed to leave it behind, and my 9 year old patted it down.<\/p>\n

Then this deranged <\/del>woman came out of her house shouting about how she’d just swept the path. I mean like quiet aggressively. I wouldn’t have even minded quiet so much if the kids had been throwing it around (otherwise known as a snowball fight), but the poor kids had accidentally dropped it! I exclaimed that it was only snow. Well how un-politically correct am I! Because she said that it wasn’t! That it was a health and safety issue!!!<\/p>\n

The truth is snow is for adults. I realised this when returning out from a half hour outing in the snow with my husband and seeing all the videos and photos on Facebook. Some adults know how to have more fun – with a great video of a snow angel for example.<\/p>\n

We went to try to steal the next road’s snow lol.<\/p>\n

\"snowball\"<\/a><\/p>\n

But didn’t quiet manage to get it home as I had no gloves.<\/p>\n

And it was all very romantic.<\/p>\n

\"shadowsinthesnow\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I mean when the current adults went to school, we walked with it high up to our knees and we able to throw snowballs at school. I remember my Moonboots. So it is obviously only for our generation lol.<\/p>\n

What silly PC snow things have you heard?<\/p>\n
