It's been snowing steadily for more than 48 hours. We have a lot of snow. Like 2 feet of the white stuff. More snow than I've seen in a while.
So yesterday afternoon my son, the one without the coat and the boots, decides he's going sledding at the golf course. Without boots and a coat. I beg him to put on a jacket. But nooooo. He's going to wear his freaking trench coat because he apparently lost his jacket, having never even worn it. It's in the house someplace, but lord only knows where. I've looked, he's looked. It's lost.
So off he goes, and a couple of hours later he comes home, soaked through to the skin. He changes every bit of clothing, down to his boxers, and comes downstairs dressed like a gigantic elf. Totally adorable.
He lays down on the sofa and he's watching TV and then he turns to me and says, "I need a pair of boots."
NO SHIT SHERLOCK.
This is the kid I begged and pleaded with just a few days ago to buy a pair of boots. Tims. Nice Tims. On sale at Marshalls. But NOOOOOO. He doesn't LIKE boots. They aren't comfortable. Moron.
So, in two feet of snow, he determines that maybe boots might be a decent idea. OMG, I wanted to punch him.
We'll look for boots when we can get out of the driveway. Which should, according to my determination, be sometime in mid-April.
ROTFLMAO!!! This is so like my own son. I let the boots battle go for several years. This year, in a huge storm, we went to Farm and Fleet and bought the perfect pair: for $100. Gasp. His feet better not grow for a while.
