One upon a time in the Land of Spin, where the world evolves around spin class, there lived the champion of spin, Sir Uncle Willie. Everyone looks up to Sir Uncle Willie, because he is the the spiniest spinner in all of the land.
One day as Sir Willie was about to mount his trusty steed, Number 7, for the class, when all of a sudden in walked the evil instructor. It was Princess Evil, she was the monarch of the next kingdom, Belfastia, and she ran the class with a iron fist and a very loud microphone. People say that she used the microphone because everyone in Belfastia hates really loud conversation. And this put a crimp the Princess' life style, because she and her family, the Evil family, enjoyed yelling and screaming at each other. And this is just not tolerated in Belfastia. The princess and her family are constantly being shushed. That's why she liked using the microphone so much.
Well any who, the princess enjoyed coming to the Land of Spin because she could yell and scream as loud as she wanted. The people in the Land of Spin, kind of liked to be yelled at while they were spinning. So what did the Princess do, she yelled and yelled and yelled. She yelled at Mary, Heidie, Wendy,Jim and even yelled at Dollie, who did not like yelling all that much.
One day in class, the Princess yelled so loud that she lost her voice. As much as she tried to yell she could not utter another sound. She tried and she tried but to no avail, she had just lost her voice. This was devastating for the Princess and she left the land of spin forever.
Many years later I ran into her in Belfastia, where by the way, people really love her now that she can no longer yell. She was teaching a college class for librarians, teaching them to whisper.
The moral of the story. A truly wise man never plays leapfrog with a unicorn.

Clever Willie. I want to write a witty response back but I am too brain dead from dealing ( with my kids all day...Was I yelling???? Nope- Not me! School was cancelled in the quiet little town of Belfastia because of flooding on their well travelled paths. I think Sir Uncle Willie put a curse on the fair Princess Evil and all the other fair spinning maidens with children in the grand Kingdom of Knox .
Yes please Sir Willy lift your evil spell..An extra day out of the blue with two teenagers is just not fair...she wasn't yelling that loud...at least not as bad as the guy who didn't follow the moral to your story...
