Ariel: S-s-s-should we t-t-t-tell everyb-b-body to put on their s-s-spoiler blankets?
Sasha: Aers, it's back to 70 degrees outside. Why are you acting like you're freezing? And why would anybody need a spoiler blanket for a story that's all about us that they're only going to get from reading this post?
Ariel: I'm just still cold, and blankets sound good right now.
Sasha: Well here. Wrap yourself up in this. And this. And this. Better?
Sasha: Aers?
Sasha: Well?
Ariel: Sorry, I couldn't type my part of the blog all wrapped up in blankets. Yes, it was better, but now I'm cold again.
Sasha: So put them back on and keep taking them off when it's your turn to type.
Ariel: That would be so much work!
Sasha: ...
Ariel: Anyway, I guess we should tell people how cold it got around here?
Sasha: Pretty cold!
Ariel: SUPER cold! I didn't even know it could get that cold.
Sasha: Hettie says it hasn't gotten that cold here in our part of Texas for over 30 years.
Ariel: I feel like it was colder than that. It felt more like it hadn't gotten that cold for over 60 or maybe even 903 years.
Sasha: That literally makes no sense. You haven't even been alive 30 years, much less 903.
Ariel: Exactly! So it feels like it hasn't ever gotten that cold before, meaning even 903 years ago. I was actually trying to sound like I wasn't exaggerating when I said 903 years.
Sasha: Okay, well, that didn't work.
Ariel: Well I figured the people who were living here 903 years ago didn't have thermometers, so if it got this cold back then, they wouldn't have known anyway.
Sasha: Your explanations are only making this more ridiculous.
Ariel: That's because it was so ridiculously cold! That's what I'm trying to say!
Sasha: Then why don't you just say that?
Ariel: It was ridiculously cold.
Sasha: See? That wasn't so hard, was it?
Ariel: No. But it seems pretty anti-climatic.
Sasha: Anti-climactic.
Ariel: No, I meant "climatic" like in "climate." And "anti" like in "Antarctica."
Sasha: There's no "anti" in "Antarctica."
Ariel: There is so, you just have to take out the "arct" and the "ca." Or you could take out the "tarc" and the "ca" I guess. So there's two ways there's an "anti" in "Antarctica."
Sasha: Well, we're not in Antarctica, and I'm pretty sure it gets way colder in Antarctica than it got here.
Ariel: Maybe. We'll never know, since I'm definitely never going there if it's colder than last week was here.
Sasha: Aers, Antarctica is the coldest place on Earth. We already know it gets colder there than it got here.
Ariel: I'm not admitting that until I go there and find out for myself. Which I'm not going to do because I don't want to risk getting that cold. Hey! What are you doing?
Sasha: I'm wrapping you back up in the blankets.
Ariel: I can see that, but --
Sasha: There. Problem solved. And you look very toasty now!
Sasha: Folks, Ariel can't type under all those blankets, and I'm signing off to get in there too. If it's cold where you are, be sure to wrap up with a cuddle-buddy, like us! Bye!
With the addition of extra blankets, Ariel, I keep picturing you as a purrito. I'd pop an image of one in here, but I'd forgotten how Blogger works, so just look it up when you get the chance; you won't regret it! ;-)
ReplyDeleteStay toasty, you two! Well, all of you, really!
Ooooohhhh!!! So cuuuuuuute!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I was that cute or not, but I'm sure glad I googled it.
It's totally springy around here now -- thanks for the warm wishes, Davecat! You're the bestest!
