I recently drafted this letter to Summer. Thought I might share :) LOL......
Dear Summer:
Where the *bleep* do you think you are going? Huh? Don't walk away from me while I am talking to you, mister! How dare you creep up on us at the END of May and then blaze by with no consideration for children that long to be outside and teachers who haven't stopped working before they have to begin again and wives of teachers who have barely gotten used to having their husbands home before having to say goodbye again. If you weren't trying to leave already, Target and Wal-Mart wouldn't be trying to sell everyone crayons for $.25 a box and folders for $.05. Are you going to do that one thing where you still around, like, way into October confusing everyone further because it still feels like summer but your best friends Target and Wal-Mart already have their Christmas stuff out?
Listen, Summer, I'm sorry for getting huffy. Things are just better in summer. More fun is had in summer. More laughter. People are happier with you around. None of us are short on our vitamin D right now and we like it. Look at all the kids who enjoy all you have for them. Trampolines. Pools. Sprinklers. Sleepovers. Sun-kissed skin for mom and farmer's tans for dad. Garden fresh food. Balanced mood. (Like how I rhymed there, Summer? I can't make stuff grow or anything but we are all talented in our own ways.)
Anyway, Summer. Please stay! Don't leave us! Winter around here over stays its welcome every year and I have had it! Do not let Winter win! Please!
Summer for President- 2011!
Sincerely,
Bummed for Summer to End
