Walking in a Winter Wonderland
I don’t understand that song anymore, it’s driving me crazy. Seriously, the lyrics are confusing.
“A beautiful sight, we’re happy tonight, walking in a winter wonderland.” What??
Even more confusing is the last part:
“We’ll frolic and play, the Eskimo way, walking in a winter wonderland.”
When I hear that, I picture two people having the time of their lives frolicking through the snow, maybe throwing a few snowballs at each other, just to keep the laughter rolling. But that isn’t what it’s really like when you’re walking in a winter wonderland.
In a real winter wonderland, you can’t “frolic”…you have to walk gingerly, every step is a precise placement of the foot because you know one wrong move means your rear end is going to forcefully meet the ground below.
Case in point:
The last few days there has been a lot of snow here, and a lot of cold weather. Which, to me, means this base has turned into what the song so glowingly calls a Winter Wonderland.
Yesterday, there I am trying to walk through this wonderland, taking every step as slow as I can, my arms straight out at my sides as if I’m about to take off on flight, and then it happens:
Uh Oh! Woah! Crap! %&#*! BAM! My rear end says hello to the pavement.
Of course, first thing I do, before I even think about getting up, is look around to see if anybody noticed. And, of course, here comes my witness. He offers the obligatory, “Are you alright?” And then just to rub it in says, “Man, that could happen to anybody around here.” What he’s really thinking is, “What a loser…”
And so I make my way to my feet and slowly continue on to my location, all the while doing my best to continue on as if I find it funny. But, it’s not. There really is nothing funny, or fun, about walking around in a Winter Wonderland.
It’s been like this for a few days now and I honestly can’t wait for the sun to melt everything away. I’m looking forward to taking a few fearless steps, walking in a Winter Wonderland is just not fun.
That song is a lie. I hate that song.
hilarious. i can just picture it.
You are so random. I still love the song despite your hateration. lol
One more thing… I want some bikouri donkey!
So funny. I do have to say I love that song no matter how inaccurate it is.
And you tell me not to worry about you!!!! Even walking is dangerous over there.
