Let Herman the spokescrab guide you through the catalog of potentially civilization ending disasters.</a> Education is great. Entertaining your kids on cabin fevered summer days is better. I have friends that when they bring their young buck over send him to my computer to play the kiddie offerings at nick.com (sorry dead link this time o' night it seems). But I can just hear the sunburned Minnesota five year old who's been overly femafied asking mommy after her bedtime story, "August is hurricane season. Is it windy now because we're going to have a hurricane?" Mom strokes child's hair, "No, here we're only prone to devastating thunderstorms, tornadoes, floods, kidcicle causing cold and blizzards. Now you have sweet dreams and quit worrying about ridiculous things like that. 'Night." <small>Like of course, a kid that age would really find the FEMA website riveting to begin with. . .</small> tag:metafilter.com,2001:site.8721 Sun, 01 Jul 2001 04:11:25 -0800 blizzards children DisasterRelief FEMA floods ForKids hurricanes kids thunderstorms tornadoes US USGovernment crasspastor
