We are visiting my wife's mother in upstate New York (we live in South Carolina) and my wife's 8 year old nephew spent the night. All good...
My 12 year old daughter came out and put on snow pants, snow jacket and gloves. The conversation follow:
Nephew: What are you doing?
Daughter: Getting my breakfast.
Nephew: But those are snow pants, what are you doing?
Daughter: Getting my breakfast.
Nephew: What is the bowl for?
Daughter: Getting my breakfast. Snow and then maple syrup.
It is her daily ritual when here during snow season.

Ah, the nutritional requirements of children!  Hopefully it's real maple syrup!

Yes, we are at the south end of Lake Champlain; Vermont is spitting distance away.

I know the area fairly well. I have spent a lot of time in Burlington, VT.

Be careful. Whenever I'm on the west coast of New England I spit at New York.

Brrr. It's cold enough in Albany where I work!

Woke up to -17 the other day; at home, it was in the 40s.

Yes, but it's a dry cold. I used to live in Oregon and +40 degrees there felt colder than -5 in VT did.

Yet another tedious, drink sodden round of pointless and instantly forgettable social events is past.
Just one more to avoid entirely then it is back to business. Can't wait!

Are you saying you're being forced to drink?

He is being forced to drink and perform certain acts under duress? These acts are on the internet? Really?! 
And all this time I thought he was just a wanna be weather man. You never really know someone.

Grow a backbone mate. Any one that would forsake you for refusing to go can elephant right off - try it, it's a liberating experience.
Unless of course, you just prostitute yourself for the money.

Family and all that, you know, you have to show up.

I refuse to acknowledge Christmas, Easter and any other consumer driven event - they were not designed with me in mind.

And that my friend, is another place we differ. First time in 5 years I felt like it and indeed, bothered, this time - went because I wanted to and had more fun than everyone else, except my miniature nephew.

Good for you.

Ha, ha. Very funny. The part I fixed was the bit you chose to omit - the part in which I changed the "you" to an "I" - since you were writing it, it need to say "I have to go to" rather than the "you have to go to" - I so can't be bothered with this, especially since, based on your nonsensical other posts at times I can't be sure if you're just being thick or think you're being funny. What the elephant ever.

We could use 'one' too, the problem is it makes one sound like a pompous twat.

Apple apologises [^]
I'm waiting when Lenovo would announce theirs for their notebooks. (non-thinkpads)
