He’s a Seattleite
April 22, 2009 – 12:35 pmI cannot believe this day, I think as we walk across the grassy field to the spot where CJ’s t-ball team is warming up for their first game.
Across from us in the distance is Mt. Rainier, snowy white against the clear blue sky.
Birds are chirping and the sun feels so good on my bare arms.
Next to me, CJ is shaking his head and muttering as he walks.
“What did you say?” I ask.
He looks at me and then up at the sky and rolls his eyes before announcing “It is way, way, WAY too hot to play.”
It can’t be more than 65 degrees.
This is how you know you’re raising a Seattleite.

Hysterical. Like me and the fog. Grew up in SF. Anything over 55 is warm.

Haha! I used to live in the Sacramento area where it got hotter than 100 in the summer. I’ve lived here almost 10 years. When it gets above 70, I’m like, “Whew, it’s HOT!” What happened?

I got all excited because I first read, “Mr. Bachelor” was standing in the distance. Sigh. Mt…Mr… big difference. :-)

It’s funny how we get so used to the weather where we live. I realized that my sister had gotten too used to Florida when she mentioned that at 70 it was cold and she had to bundle up the baby.

That is so funny- I can totally relate to that too- my kids thought it was SO HOT they could not go outside the other day when it was around 70 degrees….Too fuuny!! Especially because I am from Texas, and 70 degress is pretty cool!
