Carol Perkins: What goes around . . . Texas grandchildren, unaccustomed to arctic Metcalfe County winter, remain intact, despite anxious grandmother Perkins' tap on the window to come inside, and a verbal yell about getting frostbitten. Next earlier column: The beginning of the story: Carol Perkins: In New Year, she'll heed advice of her husband By Carol Perkins I yelled as they went out the door, "You're gonna freeze!" They didn't look back or respond. With temperatures in the teens, I turned to their parents. "They don't need to be out there. Do you know how long it takes to get frostbitten?"
