Snow Blowing Overachiever

Today our area had a snow day. Students and teachers alike had the day off. When I arrived home from work this afternoon, my driveway had been cleared. In fact, my neighbor's driveway was cleared and so was the neighbor's across the street. These three drives are usually snowbound until I get around to cranking up my snowblower. Further research uncovered the culprit. My neighbor across the street, a teacher, had the day off. I thought - boy he was so bored he cleared three driveways besides his own. I changed my thinking NO ONE is that bored. Perhaps he's being nice for another reason - he wants the neighborhood to buy Girl Scout cookies from his daughters. Nope, that wouldn't fly because they had grown up, gotten married and moved away. My brain hurt from all the possibilities.

My son finally gave me the answer in one word: MOM! Yup, Mom has moved in with my neighbor and his wife. Suddenly spending all that time snow blowing everyone's driveway made sense to me. What a great Escape!
