my knee’s been singing all day

Who taught : Manny

Pittsburgh’s winter must be really great for kids. Why? Schools are closed many times due to heavy snow and icy rain. Yesterday, we got snow again and schools are closed today. Not really good thing for parents at all. They need to figure out how to take care of kids and work.

I have to be honest. As much as I like PGH, I do not like this heavy snow at all. I know it sounds weird. But really hope one day PGH had mild winter! Maybe next year?

Speaking of weather, let me ask you a question. Do you feel a lot of pains during bad weather? Like in your back or ankle. Back in Korea, my mother used to say, “Looks like it is going to rain tomorrow. I have a lot of pains in my shoulders.” She was usually right. I am not sure whether this is scientifically true or not. Does anyone know?

A few weeks ago, I was watching a TV show, Modern Family. It is one of my favorite shows. So hilarious. Every episode is also very short like less than 30 mins. In the episode I watched, Manny who is a kid but acts like an adult used a very interesting expression. He said, “Do you think it is going to rain? I think it is because my knee’s been singing all day.” It was very interesting that he used a verb “sing” to describe that he has been feeling pains on his knee. Is it typical or is it just his way of speaking? I honestly do not know. Does anyone know? Or do you say in the same way?

A few weeks ago, I got injured on my knee, playing soccer, and I now feel pains. Not sure it is because of bad weather or my getting older. 🙂 The thing is I need to walk to the school today. Oh…. no!
