Argh, Persephone

[pegkerr]

It is dark gray and snowing hard outside my window. It's March 31st! Five to seven inches are expected. This is absolutely unacceptable.

As I saw remarked in metaquotes this week (quoting cjtremlett) if spring happens when Persephone leaves the underworld, Persephone and Hades must be having great sex this year.

Persephone, you brazen hussy, get out of bed--no, I don't care what he's doing to you and how good it feels, and I don't want to hear about his tongue and exactly where he's putting it--get your shameless little arse up here above ground, and get the spring started. Enough, already.

You can't eat until you get up here anyway. Aren't you getting hungry by now?

Two kids in MiniPlu's class got into a fight last week. The girl insisted it was spring (because, technically it is). The boy insisted it was still winter. They duked it out until she said, "It's spring because my mommy said so" and he called her mother a liar and got into major trouble with the teacher. :P I had to explain to MiniPlu (who was retelling the story) that even though the boy hadn't acted right, I could understand why he would still think it's winter. Brrr.

We're not due for snow (though there's a chance for some minor sleet with the rain) but I sure as hell am ready for it to be warmer, flowerier, and, well, properly spring, dammit.
