Sources close to the matter have confirmed that sophomore Jaskarn Persaud’s phone call with his dad was just a rundown of the weather over the next week.
“He just kept telling me which days were going to be beautiful and which days I should wear a hat,” said Persaud, scouring a closet for snowshoes his father insisted he pack. “He even cut me off when I was telling him about classes to mention that there was a ‘storm front’ coming up from the ‘Mid-Atlantic’ but Thursday should be 72 and sunny.”
“He just gets so into it, I don’t even have the heart to tell him I can get the weather on my phone,” continued Persaud, now researching upcoming weather in his hometown so he could contribute to such conversations. “That one time we had a snowstorm was the longest we’ve talked this year.”
At press time, Persaud’s Dad was heard transitioning into a rundown of this week’s baseball scores.
