Weather or Not

I will never "get" it.  Never.

Why – when it is in  the mid twenties temperature wise – do children choose (did you get that?  I said CHOOSE) not to wear a jacket because then the other children will not be able to see that they are rockin a really ‘hot’ shirt.  It’s not so damn HOT that it’s keeping your teeth from chattering and your lips from turning blue, now is it?

Even when I was their age, What it looks like was never as important to me as what it feels like.  Hmmmmmmm.  Does that make me frumpy or sensual? 

And with that point to ponder……I am off to bed.

Women walk around in freezing weather with near bare legs, some even sporting CFM stiletto heel pumps. They are showing them off for men to notice just like the kids and those “in” shirts. Willy of

I can’t ever remember, as a child or teenager, feeling cold. This must be selective memory as there surely were plenty of cold times here in the UK. However, I do remember certain items of clothing, which would have been extremely unsuitable for winter weather, that I know I would have worn in winter. I blame their higher metabolism!

RYN: LOL I am only subbing in elementary school right now. I was in a class who knows me, so I was easily able to lay the smack down on some of them.

Oh, honey, let me tell you something — if I had a nickel for every teenage girl patient I’ve seen over the past few years who has shown up to my office on 10-degree days with ice and snow on the ground in FLIP FLOPS, I’d be living in a villa in Tuscany. I swear to God, I do not know WHY anyone would wear FLIP FLOPS in the middle of winter. But then again, I am not a teenage girl.

*grin* They are a different species of animal to the rest of us.

I remember young ladies standing in line outside to get into my club in their barely there clothing – no coats – freezing in the January night. Never made sense to me.
