Rhyming lament of a young worrywart who wants to go outside and play in the snow but fears what could happen if he does, from slipping on steps to freezing his brain.

New England got hit by a snow & ice storm today. I took half a vacation day so I could make my hour-long commute home safely. Since I got home (unscathed! 🙌🏻), I‘ve been sitting in a comfy chair, curled up with my heating pad, reading.

The omniscient internet gods knew, of course, & have sent me targeted ads. I‘m usually not drawn in so easily, but goddamn it if I don‘t want a sloth heating pad! Or a bunny? All that‘s left to do is choose...

BethM I saw the sloth in my ads today too! Soooo cute! 5y
kgriffith I have my hot water bottle wearing a sweater, and weighted blanket, on the couch! Work, homework, and a bit of Wandersong on breaks 😁 5y
Bookish_AF So I have one of these! It‘s a fox. I am obsessed with it. It is in my arms at this very moment. Basically, you should get one. Right now!!! 5y

So, I should absolutely include one of these in my #StuffedStockingSwap package, right? 😂🤣🌲❄️

julesG 😂 Perfect small project for all the #knittersoflitsy - - definitely better than a willy-warmer 😂😂😂 6y
KrystleTheBookSlayer They look kind of silly, but I'd actually be thrilled to get one! It's just so cold outside! 6y
FantasyChick Absolutely! 😂 6y

monalyisha @KrystleTheBookSlayer That‘s hilarious! I mean, I get it. #NewEngland ... but that‘s a level of functionality over fashion that I don‘t think I could allow myself to embrace. You go, girl! 😆 (edited) 6y
KrystleTheBookSlayer 😂 I try to be as fashionable as possible in the winter, but it's hard. Sometimes temps get down to -20 to -40, plus the wind chill is even worse. While walking my dog, I've basically wrapped my entire face with a scarf before. Fortunately we haven't gotten that chilly yet this year. 6y
monalyisha @KrystleTheBookSlayer Is never going outside again an option? 🤔 6y
Craftylikefox Ha! I immediately think of it like an eye patch but for your nose. I just cover my face with a big scarf and it keeps my neck warm too! 6y
monalyisha @craftylikefox I have *absolutely* rocked that look! (The face scarf, not the eyepatch. But each has its place. 😉) 6y
KrystleTheBookSlayer 😂😂😂 I really wish it was! Once I get home from work and errands, I will not go out again, except of course for dog walking. 6y
Jilly6183 My husband bought me one of these for Christmas one year (as a joke) since my nose is always cold! 😂 6y
monalyisha @Jilly6183 That‘s a fantastic gag gift! Maybe I should get them for my fam. Joke gifts are pretty popular with them. Especially with my stepdad. He likes to do things like wrap bananas & then stand there smiling doofily while we open them. 🤦‍♀️😆 6y
Jilly6183 @monalyisha 😂😂 The same for my husband's family. One year he bought really cheesy Christmas CDs from the bargain bin and hid gift cards inside. It was fun to see everyone squirm and pretend to like their terrible CDs before they realized there was something else inside lol 6y
ravenlee Is this not what a balaclava is for? I mean, if it‘s cold enough to need this, wouldn‘t the rest of your face/ears/head/neck need cover, too? 6y
monalyisha @ravenlee perhaps this is a better solution?: http://etsy.me/2nD4WeJ 6y
ravenlee 😂😂😂😂 I love that it‘s specified “unisex,” in case you might think it looks too feminine... 6y
monalyisha @ravenlee Hahaha important detail! 👌🏻 6y
AmyG @KrystleTheBookSlayer I‘m with you. My nose is always cold. I‘d love one of these, though I might just wear it in the house. 🤣 6y
KrystleTheBookSlayer @AmyG Completely justified! Everywhere is cold! I went grocery shopping today and I just kept thinking how darn cold my nose was the entire time 😂 WE NEED NOSE WARMERS! 6y
