So I don't tweet, but I do love the little hash tags that go with twitter. If I had one for today it would definitely be #littleboyswatching.
We have gotten quite a bit of snow and little did we know but Columbia does not make it their priority to clear cul de sacs. So in all honesty, we were stuck at the bottom of our street. We have helped many neighbours push their cars back to their driveways after attempting to get out and failing. We have wondered whether our van might make it out, but after watching many others fail, we thought it wasn't even worth trying our civic. So Charles hitched a ride to work with Keith, his 'boss'. We told Keith to call when he left his house and Charles would walk to the top of the street to avoid Keith getting stuck at the bottom with us and all of our neighbours.
Well Keith (like many men in snow storms) didn't listen. Before we knew it Jack was telling us Keith was in our driveway. Charles quickly ran out and jumped in Keith's 4x4 (little 4x4). Upon Charles's recommendation Keith did a six point turn in our driveway and turned around so he could get a run at the snowy hill. The kids and I all stood at the door watching as Keith gunned the motor, and he and our beloved husband and daddy went flying up the hill at a very high speed. Their tires were spinning, snow was flying, but they were moving...which is something others didn't quite accomplish. As we saw the car turn the corner onto the main road, I heard Jack say 'Wow, Keith is a really good driver.'
Thank you Keith for teaching my son that the faster you do things the better they go. I am sure Charles and I will have lots of opportunities in the future to fix that thinking! And thank you too for getting Charles safely to work today.
A good lesson for me today.... in this house little boys are always watching.

There's something about men. They are all part Jack London and love to be man against the elements.
I love this story! It doesn't surprise me that Keith had to tackle the hill!
SO FUNNY!!! I can totally picture it! AND, tell Dr. Foot Down that I, in fact, attended a short training on how to use twitter (at work). I found it totally confusing at first, and then I started to get it. Now I'm tweeting for work, using hashtags and everything. I decided that the fact that I needed a training and that I found it confusing meant that I am officially old, and also that I had better embrace new technology rather than be so absolute that I'm not doing it. I think Charles would be proud of me no? :)
