Today it was 40 degrees. My daughter who sulks when I ask her to wear an extra thin hoody over her short-sleeved tee in 20 degree weather asked for one of those "puffy winter coats" saying they look so warm. I'm like, "I'm gonna scream!
Clearly she is influenced by trends, but I wanted to delve more. It turns out she resisted layers in the morning because, as she said, "the rooms were like different temperatures." I'm like, "But the coat is for outside." Apparently she goes to school with whatever layers she wears outside and keeps them on inside. Um, that's why they're like, called layers? So you can add or remove them??
I do know it's what she did in China, we all did. South of the Yellow River there is no central heating in public buildings, so you wear your winter coats inside. But, like, y'know, technically she's not in China any more? And our schools do have central heating? (And, no, I'm not a valley girl, just felt like sounding like one today.)
