Leo my moral compass

So it snowed here and I have been making it to work every day.  There have been several nerve racking moments.  The night before I said, "If it snows again I will just stay home",  I woke up on Christmas Eve and it was snowing.  So I went outside in the morning got in the car started it and then thought what am I doing I have sick days I will call in.  I called in saying it was too slick.  I went back in and my dad asked what I was doing still there.  I told him I was staying home.  He totally made a face,  "Its just going to be a skiff of snow"  I told him it was slick.  He said, "Well it isn't going to be any worse later on."  I told him I had lots of sick days.  He said, "Well, they probably will let you out of work early anyways so it would be a real waste."  "Do you have things that need to get done today?"  So I got my boots back on and headed out.  My dad comes running out of the garage with a broom in his t shirt, jammies and slippers. Apparently I didn't clean off my car sufficiently either.

So I used my mini van as an ice skate and made it to work just in time.  I get there and everyone says, "Why are you here you called in?"  I had to say, "My dad told me not to let a skiff of snow keep me from my responsibilities.  He wouldn't let me stay home."  This led to great laughter by all.  So now all my coworkers love my dad and think he is the greatest.  Leo the hero.  What else is new.  He is pretty great.  I hope to be a good mix of my dad and mom when I grow up.  Obviously I have a way to go when I try to play hookey and my dad says no.

Best part of my day.  Even better than legos.
