rain plan

[heryngmongere]

I had a program scheduled this morning, a short hike along Pat's Branch creek to discuss the importance of watersheds.  It was lightly sprinkling on and off and the teacher of the student group called me on the phone to ask me what my rain plan was

I agree with you 100%. "Lighten up, Francis."

I love your rain plan.

J is ice skating today. When she asked to bring her knee pads from roller skating if she fell down I said no (we were already 1/2 way there). Was temped to say, if you fall down, just get back up.

I did say, well besides, you are probably going to fall on your butt more than your knees. Then she asked for a butt pad. I refrained from telling her if she would actually eat then she would have more padding.

I hope she's not actually anorexic.

The hardest thing about ice skating is . . . the ice. But I agree that padding is needed more for roller skating than ice skating.

You generally wear more clothes while ice skating, and because ice is slippery, when you fall you tend to slide, unlike roller skating whether on wood or pavement, where a fall brings you to an abrupt halt and often causes abrasions.

she's not. She is just a very picky eater. I'm very curious to see how she is after the day is over. :)

Good grief.

Hadn't the teacher or any of the kids heard of raincoats or ponchos?

I agree that a little hardihood would do those kids good. And a bit of discovery that whaddya know . . . getting wet won't cause you to "catch your death," as my grandmother (may she rest in peace) used to say.

(I can still hear her admonitory tone: "Young man, come in out of that rain before you catch your death a cold.")

so your rain plan is a statement at the end of your activity statement that this activity will go on rain or shine, it is advised that the teacher encourage there students to be prepared for all weather situations.

I <3 the rain. it is the greatest stuff ever. my mom says that the teacher sounds up tight and I said she needs to get over herself. So coming from 2 teachers, I think you rain plan sounds fabulous!
