Half An Hour From Goodwill
Yesterday, another lovely day here in Oregon, Philip wanted to go outside and play.
"Not without your shoes and socks," I said.
"Grrrrr! I want my boots." (he has some lined boots he wears without socks)
Now maybe you're comfortable with the fashion statement made by shin-topping boots and shorts, but I tend to discourage that sort of thing. So we went back and forth, until Phil announced: "Sandals!"
"Do you know where your sandals are?"
"Uh-huh."
So we found 'em and put them on. We bought them midway through last summer, so I was kind of surprised he hadn't already outgrown them. Give him another thirty minutes....
