Kids today often have a "Snow Day" because of frigid temperatures.
You don't have to be that old (maybe just a grandparent) to say things like "Back in my day, we went to school no matter how cold it was."
Back in the day, when I was in school, I was always told that if the Superintendent could drive his 4x4 Suburban through the snow, than we had school. Now, as an adult, I find out that everyone, pretty much, had that same story told to them whenever there was talk about school closings.
The constant debate on Social Media - about the world raising a bunch of wimps - continues to rage on. In 2015, we parents tend to use anecdotal evidence like, "I walked 5+ miles in these temps and survived ... so go to school," or (my favorite) "We didn't wear seatbelts and we didn't die."
The average life expectancy of today is headed towards 100 years old. The average life expectancy around 1940 was only 62 years of age.
YOU OLD PEOPLE WERE PROBABLY DYING FROM FROSTBITE WALKING TO SCHOOL IN THE COLD!!
Every chance you get, you bitch about how your parents made you walk to school every day. Chances are, if your Mom & Dad drove a Chevy Traverse with Heated Seats and remote start, you would've happily not walked to school, 5 miles, up hill, both ways, with no shoes.
The national weather services recently released a statement saying, " Bitterly cold wind chills will lead to Frost Bite in 15 minutes or less."
Do the math, people.
Nobody can walk 5 miles in 15 minutes.
So, your argument that "I survived the old days" doesn't really hold water now that I really think about it. The water in your glass would have turned to ice.
