Cabin Fever has arrived
What makes people go all gaga when the weather get even a fraction warmer in the month of March? I know adults suffer from it, but the kids are even worse. I had the misfortune of subbing for a sixth grade class on Friday and boy was it bad. On a normal day these students are quiet, orderly, and respectful, but let the temperature climb to near seventy degrees, and they turn into hideous little monsters who cannot sit still or keep their mouths shut. I never have to yell at these kids, but I had to scream at them that day. Why does the weather and the cycles of the moon have such an affect on kids? This whole cabin fever thing is enough to make a person long for Antarctica, where there is no such thing as a spring day. It really makes me long for snow! At least when it snows it tames the beast that is an eleven year old child.
