This morning it was cold out.  Below freezing.  Middle Boy was in a t-shirt and jeans.  Luckily not the shorts of three days ago.

I asked what he intended to do for a coat.  Nothing, because he only had black hoodies. 

You see, a black hoodie DOES NOT go with a white t-shirt.  In fact it is FAR BETTER to be cold than to be that unfashionable.  FAR BETTER.

This is absurd.  This is one of those times where your actions will lead to a natural consequence.  You will be cold.

Middle Boy wants a white hoodie.  He has plenty of hoodies.  Just no white hoodie.  So...he can get a white hoodie...WITH HIS OWN MONEY.

He has requested to do that this evening with his Christmas gift card from Grandma and Grandpa, because he is "tired of being cold".

To this I say...whatever.
