Preparation - or lack of it!

To avoid offending anybody, the school dropped religion altogether and
started singing about the weather. At my son's school, they now hold the
winter program in February and sing increasingly non-memorable songs such as
"Winter Wonderland," "Frosty the Snowman" and--this is a real song--"Suzy
Snowflake," all of which is pretty funny because we live in Miami. A visitor
from another planet would assume that the children belonged to the Church of
Meteorology.
