Why do you wait until the last minute to buy a sled?

| I suppose I didn't buy a sled because I'm stupid. Is that the right answer, OP? |

That would be anatomically impossible. |

Maybe not. You don't know what she's into.

I am drunk because why not and this thread has me in stitches. I didn't buy a sled for my toddler because I am worried she will fall off and get concussed. Whaddya have to say that OP?
And by the way, PPs, I love "This." Keep em coming. |

I think people who are accustomed to and actually enjoy snow get excited to pass that onto their kids. Great memories in snow play, but you miss out if you are not familiar. So, that's why some people have sleds already. What's the big deal? Why take it so personally? |

Why is everything in D.C. so personal? |

This is exactly it. Glad you enjoy the bashing. I think whether or not you buy sleds ahead of time has most to do with how much you value the snow and how much fun you had in it as a kid. You don't miss buying your kids Xmas presents or celebrating birthdays. For some of us the snow is about as much as a celebration as Xmas, and in some memories snow was better than Xmas. And if snow and Xmas happened on the same day, there could not be a better day! Hope some of you get to have fun and find sleds before the snow melts. I don't think my parents loved snow as much as I do, but they did make it possible for us to play in it by getting us sleds, and going sledding with us when we were young. I have never outgrown my love of snow. And yes you can sled on 1 inch of snow as long as it is grass underneath and not mud or rocks, usually gentle hills in local playgrounds. And the next day when it has frozen overnight, you can still sled on it is it is ice, but boy will it be fast. |

| The only word better than douchebag is douchebaggery-I'm peeing my pants. Anyone remember the Lord and Lady Douchebag skit years ago on SNL? This thread sucks but at least some know how to make lemonade when OPs are such lemons. |

Reason #1 - I don't have a 4 wheel drive and I hate driving in the snow so I am not driving to any sledding hills.
Reason #2 - I hate sledding. Hated it as a child also. We even had a hill right in my front yard and the "classic" wood sled. Still hated it. My kid is still young so guess who is going to be stuck trudging that dang sled up the hill??? No thanks. |

Douchebaggery is a fantastic word.
May I humbly recommend "asshat" as an insult? I've really enjoyed seeing it used on another board that I visit. We didn't buy one because last time it snowed enough to sled, my daughter was still in the baby sled that you drag along. And because we are socialists, and knew that in our close-in neighborhood, we'd be able to find someone to "spread the wealth around" with a kid's outgrown sled or an extra. My kid crashed into a tree but we don't care because we will soon have socialized medicine and know all of the right people to get her past the death panels. |
