Over Christmas, my mother bought a box of clementines to bring for the choir to have before the Christmas Eve service. But my father and I kept wanting to eat them. It was the source of many disputes in the household, until my mother finally put them in the other room with a sign: DON'T EAT!!

I just bought some clementines today, and they are delicious. The last ones I bought were kind of disappointing, so I was a little worried. I discovered them only when a friend of mine was feeding them to her kids. Had never had them before.

Also, we had 1/2 inch of snow and there are children *stranded* at their schools. Apparently the solution to the snow is "wait until it gets above freezing."
