We played rough. It was snowing. That together meant throwing snow at each other. He did start it.
I was wearing my polar bear hat-scarf-mittens thingamajig and a huge winter coat. I did not make use of the scarf, though I should have. For the very next moment a small iceball hit the back of my neck.
"HA, you moron, that was an iceball,"I shouted.
I watched his eyes widen. "Oops," he tried.
I packed together snow with the polar bear mittens as he ran. We both knew who was faster and who should be faster. I got up and ran and was gaining on him. I grabbed his neck collar and dropped the snowball.
"Oops," I grinned like a Cheshire Cat.
"Freezing, freezing," he said as he shook himself off like a dog
I laughed when snow came tumbling out of his winter jacket.
"Payback," I told him.
"Yeah, I know," HA replied.
I did not notice he was digging a snowball while hunching over. You know, until it hit me in the face.
Now who's the nincompoop? I asked myself.
I cracked up. HA was just too sweet, he could not even manage to throw a snowball hard.
We passed a pile of snow. I shoved HA and he sank and he claimed he was trapped.
"Liar," I said, but pulled him out anyway.
This went on and on until we sadly reached his street. I turned, smiling. My mom didn't even ask how I got to be so wet.
