David Sedaris was born in Binghamton, New York on December 26, 1956, but he grew up in Raleigh, North Carolina. Much of Sedaris' humor is autobiographical and self-deprecating, and it often concerns his family life, his middle class upbringing in the suburbs of North Carolina. He graduated from the Art Institute of Chicago in 1987. He is a popular radio commentator, essayist, and short story writer. He held many part-time and odd jobs before getting a job reading excerpts from his diaries on National Public Radio in 1992. His first collection of essays and short stories, Barrel Fever, was published in 1994. His other works include Naked, Holidays on Ice, Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim, When You Are Engulfed in Flames, Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk: A Modest Bestiary, and Theft by Finding: Diaries (1977-2002). Me Talk Pretty One Day won the Thurber Prize for American Humor in 2001. He has also written several plays with his sister Amy Sedaris including Stump the Host, Stitches, and The Little Frieda Mysteries. In 2014 her title, Let's Explore Diabetes with Owls, made The New York Times Best Seller List.

What a interesting story!

In a perfect world, we find that parents love their children, children respect and mind their parents, and ample, positive attention is given to both parties.

However, in this short story by David Sedaris, we find that a mother, whose only vacation is while the children are at school, becomes overwhelmed by the prolonged attendance of her children during an unusually heavy snow.

After barring the children from their own home, and refusing their re-entry, the mother turns to alcohol and television to help cope with the unidentified internal conflict she's facing. Maddened, the children decide to take action, and come to the understanding that sacrificing a sibling is the only way of getting back inside.

A passing motorist uncovers the children's plan, and the reader must assume, reveals to the mother that the children have planned to get her attention with the harm of the youngest sibling. Having done the job, this causes the mother to trek through the snow, over a hill, to the children.

Having gone from being watched by their mother to being purged into nature had caused some resentment, but upon seeing their mother in eight inches of snow and missing a shoe, they decided that helping her get back to the house quickly would result in the comfort of all.
