Kennedy: Cabin fever hits families everywhere

Forget H1N1; the real epidemic this winter is cabin fever. Being cooped up with boy children on a cold day is a wild ride.

Somebody once said: “Boys are like dogs. They need to be run daily.”

How true.

Our two little men, ages 8 and 3, will find a way to release energy indoors. Sometimes it’s best to just to stand clear and remove your loose jewelry.

Our 3-year-old’s favorite energy release is dancing — specifically, gyrating to the G-rated version of “Boom Boom Pow” by the Black Eyed Peas. When he cranks “Boom Boom Pow” on the stereo, his feet fly about like a clogger hopped up on Mountain Dew.
