I am measuring the cold, but not by our thermometer. There are many other ways. For example, my dad left a pumpkin out on the deck for the squirrels, and he hates squirrels. (They eat his flower bulbs.) At my mom’s house, Tofu does his business really quickly and doesn’t sniff around, smelling everything (he’s probably cold, but I wonder if smells are harder to smell in the winter?). The trees are all creaky, the air is nostril pinchy, and it’s been indoor recess all week. Also Amanda the Rodent is actually wearing a hat even though she hates hat hair! That’s a lot of PROOF.
My name is India McAllister and these are my true, random, sort of secret thoughts.

The way I know there is cold coming is by the way my mom tells my sisters to wear a coat. Also, the seats in my dad’s car are cold and make me feel chilly.

You can tell that it is cold when you open the door and you shiver when the cold air soars in. You can also tell that it’s a cold day if no one talks to you or people are giving you and each other stink eyes.

Nice writing, Ms.Agell! Another way to measure cold without a thermometer is to leave a cup of water outside overnight and check it the next morning!

I can tell its cold when my brother tries to behave so he doesn’t get sent outside.

I like the drawing!
I do it by licking a metal pole to see if it gets stuck (not the smartest idea right?)
but if it is so cold that I know that it will get stuck then I don’t do it-
