Snow, Education, Politics, and Art
FUN ON A FORCED WALK
After a snow storm made it nearly impossible to park by the elementary school, Boom took advantage of his walk home from the bus stop to play with the snow. We dropped clean white blocks in the gutter to see how fast they turned brown. Yup.
EDUCATION AND POLITICS
More than anything else this month, banned books seemed to be the hot topic on my socials, underscoring the importance of local government and how we talk to kids about the world.

MEET STUMPY
This door reminded me of Miss Minutes, the artificial intelligence that aids the Time Variance Authority on Loki. When I pointed it out to Boom and Betty, they had other ideas. Betty said it looked like a baby sun while Boom thought it looked like an underdeveloped Lorax, the orange Dr. Seuss character who speaks for the trees. Because the ball is balanced on a tree stump like the Lorax, we’ve taken to calling it Stumpy. Maybe his series will come to a streaming service this summer and he’ll grow a pair of legs. —MV
