Okay, firstly I’d like to nail something into everyone’s head: I live in Canada, so snow days are not only welcome, but expected in high quantities. Now, I’m not saying it’s anyone’s fault, but today is only the second snow day of the year and I’m pissed. Seriously, last year we had 10 by now. How am I supposed to hunt wildebeast and danger when I have to go to school every day?
Well, being that I’m not one to ask questions without giving a few potential answers, here are my thoughts on new reasons to cancel school.
Scary Day – If it is cloudy or something, or for whatever reason the sun doesnt come up all the way by 6am, school should be declared on account of it being too scary outside. Serisouly, no one is impervious to fear, and darkness is the feariest thing around. Also, Halloween should automatically be declared a Scary Day for hopefully obvious reasons.
Chosen Day – I think it would be fun if a monkey could turn a wheel every month and whatever day it lands on gets to be a “Chosen Day”. On that day, there will be no school, no work, no anbything except parties. Wait… no work, except for the brothels. Yeah. Brothels and parties. Go monkeys!
Space Day – If I look out the window and cannot be 100% visually sure that there is a breathable atmosphere still clinging to the Earth, I want it declared a Space Day, because you can never be too careful with something as lethal as Space.
Old People Day – In my town, every Wednesday has been unofficially declared “Old People Day” because all the old age homes unlock the doors and let them recklessly roam the streets. I think that on these days, we shouldnt have to go to school to minimize the possibility of having to come in contact with one. You think I’m exagerrating? A random old lady I passed on the street once asked me “Sonny, you wanna scrape my toasts?” Simply horrifying. In fact, these days can almost be called Scary Days.
Ham Day – Anytime I feel like eating ham, no school. Period.
Don’t get me wrong, I love school. I just think that 35 hours a week is about 30 hours too many.
