Veronica told me that winter is over, and that it is the first day of spring.

How wonderful! I almost always forget the equinox.

“Mrs. Applebee told us in science class.”

Which was all good until we got in the car, and she declared that she didn’t need to wear a coat.

“Winter is over. I do not need to wear a coat anymore.”

“It can still be cold sometimes in spring. You can take your coat off when it gets warmer.”
