do most people wear their pajamas backwards and put broken plastic spoons under their pillows during a snowstorm in hopes of it somehow magically causing a snow day, or does my town just have really weird traditions?

what the fuck

p sure thats just a northeast/midatlantic thing bc its big for kids in Delaware to do that shit

where i live (connecticut) it’s pajamas inside out and just a regular spoon under your pillow but yes

im in ny and its backward pjs and spoon in the freezer

southeast michigan we put normal spoons under our pillows, wear pjs inside-out, and flush ice cubes down the toilet

In Nebraska, I was always only told pajamas inside out and backwards, but the elementary school i went to also had this snow day song we would sing in music class when it was looking stormy with stories of how it had caused a mega storm which shut down the city for a week years before

What the fuck, America?

Don’t start blaming America for that weird shit. We don’t pull that shit in Ohio.

*irritated and confused muttering from California*

I call bull. I grew up in Buffalo NY. We had no snow day luck charms. We had “please let my younger sibling have to deal with shoveling this shit” prayers. We got snow days only if it was too cold to be outside for more than 5 minutes or it was too deep gor the plows to get the busses out.

Overheard in the hallway of my high school back in 1995 or so:

“How come [rich school district nearby] get the day off and we got to come in at sun up?”

“They white.”

“Tcht. So?”

“They fall in a pile of snow, they DIE. We fall, we CONTRAST. Somebody see us and pull us right out.”

Full disclosure: I’m one of the ones who’d die in a snowdrift.

*mystified staring from Texas*

I’m from Arizona, and this show is crazy.

So apparently this devolved into

NOT ALL AMERICA

🙂

*Canadian stare*

You get snow days? 

PJ’s inside out, spoon under the pillow, and pray for at least a foot if you want to get out of anything.

In Virginia it was pjs inside out and do all your homework, because apparently we believed in weather gods with a mean streak. (It did happen to me once or twice that i didn’t do my homework and the foot of forecasted snow completely failed to appear.)
