Mr. Webster, Spring and Amnesia

Korea welcomed spring with a four letter word..Snow.. Oh Wow, joy! Yippie Aye Yay! Here in Korea, I'm tingling with excitement. Why I'm just as excited as a kid taking a pop quiz while eating brussels sprouts and doing the dishes.. Snow! On March 22, 2010, The day after the first day of S-P-R-I-N-G?? Spring! Do you hear me, Mr. Korean Weather?!?! Spring! That word is supposed to invoke you to grow flowers, to produce too many rabbits, to soak poor children with rain, and welcome back stinging bees to the earth, but SNOW?? Really? Are we serious?Are you amnesic and have you forgot the definition of spring?... Well let me help you. According to Mr. Webster, Spring is "a time or season of growth or development in which one first builds a bonfire, burn all of their socks, boots and turtleneck sweaters; trades them in for flip-flops and pretty dresses and then eats 2 pounds of strawberries a day while jumping in rain puddles." This is Spring. Mr. Webster said so and he is always right, and he said no such thing about snow in spring.So get with the program!! but until you do shape up, I guess I'll just keep taking pictures of your favorite four letter word. sigh... ::Inge crawls into her snuggie and turns off the light:: zzzzzzzzzzzzz........
