What could be better than a snow day? A stink day on one of the first (and few) perfect days of the year. That's right, an area school full of lucky kids got a free pass on a gorgeous 70 degree day. KMOV is reporting

Students at one school in the Parkway School District will be getting an early start to their weekend thanks to a foul odor at their school.

The smell forced Oak Brook Elementary in Ballwin to close at 9:00 a.m. on Friday.

Some of the classes had a field trip to the Zoo they missed, but if any of those kids I am sure there are a ton of us out there who don't get free passes from work due to unusual stinks and snow that would be willing to talk to them.

Imagine what it would be like if your work place was like a school; you would never get in trouble for dozing off during that long meeting after lunch, color time would replace the daily block of admin time and all of the gold stars next to your name on the office chart would make sure you would never feel unappreciated again. And wouldn't it be great if they closed the office the next time dude one cubicle over reheats his nasty fish leftovers?

Snow days were bad enough, but now my envy of elementary school children has significantly increased.
