Kid's got a point

The sun came out for a day or two this week. It wasn't THAT warm, but still I told my boys to put their shoes on and go outside.

Me - "Look! The snow is mostly melted and the sun is out. Put your shoes on and go jump on the trampoline." (we were at Grandma's)

Him - "No. I want to play the Wii."

Me - "But look how nice it is outside."

Him (in a tone of mixed exasperation and patience, an "I-can't-believe-I'm-having-to-explain-this-again," voice that I can only assume he has heard VERY frequently from my own mouth)

"Mom. It is February. I am NOT going outside. It is freezing out there. "

And considering that I wasn't willing to bundle up and go outside with him. . . I didn't force the issue.
