It is currently, per the weather channel “11 degrees, feels like -3.” The girl likes to wear dresses with leg warmers. Just leg warmers. Which leave half of her leg bare.
Me: It’s really cold out today. You need to wear tights.
Pie: I only like to wear tights once a week and I already wore them!
Me: But it’s butt-cold out there!
Pie: NO!
Me: Your teacher won’t like it. You won’t be able to go out for recess.
Pie: I don’t like recess.
Me: You must wear tights! It’s simply too cold!
Pie: Fine!
I should have known she agreed too easily…
That’s right. Bare legs. Scarf of… tights. If a new kindergarten fashion trend sweeps, don’t blame me!
(I should add that, yes, I let her go like this. She followed my request. She can’t be blamed for being smarter than her mother!)
