6 Cold Turkey

CHAPTER 6 COLD TURKEY I'M FREEZING! I think I'll stay in bed all day. It's warm and dry and safe. But mom comes bounding in just as I'm snuggling down. "Come on, Hubie. It's beautiful outside. It snowed all night." "Mom, I know." "Let's get dressed, go out, and make a snowman!" Uh-oh, I know what that means. Sixteen layers of mittens, hats, scarves, hoods, boots, pants, sweaters... "Come on, Hubie. You'll love it." WHICH WAY IS NORTH?

I won't love it. But I love Mom, so I'll humor her. I start by putting on my thermal underwear and build from there. Around noon, I button the last button and snap the last snap. WHY DO I LIVE HERE? I CAN'T MOVE, MOM GET THE LEAD OUT! HELP ME STAND up.

COME ON, HUBIE, HURRY UP BEFORE THE SNOW MELTS I'VE LOST MY EGG.

A SNOWSUIT IS NOT MADE OF SNOW. "Mom, I'm hungry." "Okay, Hubie, let's have lunch. Open up your snowsuit a little so you won't get overheated." So I unzip and unsnap and have lunch. After lunch, I'm back on the launch pad. All systems go... 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1... BLAST OUT! I DON'T WANT TO GO!
