It’s snowing. 13 didn’t wear a coat today, despite my demand that kids should wear coats from October 1 to May 14, no matter what. Huh.

    Hi Tree,
    Don’t you know that teenagers never wear coats? It’s just not done. Last year LP went all winter without a coat . . .just a hoodie or thermal hoodie, 3 times too big for him. Either they don’t like having to put a coat in their lockers, or it’s a generational thing.

    my kids never wore coats either. however i think it is a highschool, junior high thing. both now put one on when it is cold. they survived so don’t worry tree.

    It’s not so much a question of survival as it is an issue of …. what’s the word I’m looking for here…? Oh yeah, growing up! Kids are often childish. Or at least immature. Or unadultish. Yeah, that’s the pure, unadultish truth, kids are immature. Someone alert the media!

    I tried to alert the media by posting this blog entry.

    I’m not worried about the kids. I’m bemused that they don’t ever want to listen to me even though I’m almost always right.

    Where I work the kids are not allowed to carry coats around so they never wear them becasue they’re too lazy to put it in the locker before school and then go get it out of the locker after school. That 7 minutes of work cuts into the before and after school social time.
    I don’t have much room to talk as I never wear a coat now that I’m not in the northern most climate.

    i go round and round with my daughter over many things that i almost always end up being right about. it drives her crazy and gives me great satisfaction.

    “coats are gay”
    says my 17 year old son

    The gay guy I work with says that “Only gays know that coats are gay.” I guess it’s a secret gay thing. Better make sure your son has lots of condoms.

    it’s not the lack of coats that bother me it’s prevalance of the ding dang flip-flops (zorries)(thongs, which you cannot call them anymore) Sheesh all the girls walk like ducks now

    this is what my daughter used to tell me. “I am not going to freeze to death in the 10 seconds it takes me to get from the car to the front door of the school or the 10 seconds it takes me to get from the door of the school back to the car”.
    that is true. so if she took a coat with and put it in the car, i really didn’t give it a second thought.
