Ya know the way you learn in Scouts to figure out how warm the summer night is by counting how many times a minute the cricket chirps?
Well. I have a related idea.
We are right at 99 degrees at the moment and also on the humid side. And I did a grocery run. And I observed a phenomenon, not unlike the chirping of crickets: the irritability of parents with small children in tow.
My untested thesis is that you can correlate temperature to how many times in Wal*Mart you hear a parent ask "do you want me to spank your butt?"
* side note: I am still waiting to hear an affirmative response from any child to that sort of question.
