Oops

Tonight when Scott got home from work, his lovely bride was telling him about her fabulous day, which included volunteering for an hour in Juliet's first grade class. He asked her what she did in the class and she had this to say: "Actually Juliet's teacher (who is a lovely Australian lady) had never heard of Groundhog Day so I taught the class all about it!" She was so proud of herself for helping shape the young first graders' minds.

Fast forward to a few minutes ago when the following conversation took place as Scott was checking the headlines:

Scott: "Well Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow so 6 more weeks of winter."
Anne: "No if he saw his shadow that means spring is nigh upon us."
Scott: "That's not what Yahoo thinks ... they say this long, cold winter is going to continue because Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow."
Anne: "Crap! I spent 15 minutes telling the first graders the wrong thing today ... I even made some handouts. I am so going to get fired from volunteer duty."
