Conversation of the Day: When You Must Go to a Ball

Coyote Hollow Arroyo Garden Dec 2011

The snow came this weekend to Coyote Hollow Gardens and Library, followed this morning by cold, cold, cold temps with more bitterness on the way. Here's how dressing for the weather went down in our household:

Nora (age 11, standing at the bus stop shivering): Ahh...my ears are cold.

JOTV (age old enough to not care, standing at the bus stop in dirty ratty torn wool poncho-type thing): Dude...put your hat on.

N: I can't; it'll mess up my hair.

JOTV: Seriously? You can fix your hair when you get to school. And besides, how your hair looks is never more important than being warm. Okay, almost never.
N: Yeah, like, if you have to go to ball.

So, folks, Nora has spoken. If you live where it's cold and must go to a ball today, you have our complete support for not wearing a hat. Otherwise, bundle up!!!

P.S. Isaac wore shorts.
