To my children, sun = warm and clouds = cold. This means that, on a sunny day in the winter, when it’s 25 degrees outside and windy, they’ll look outside and say, “I don’t need a jacket today, it’s sunny!” Similarly, when it’s overcast on an August morning, they’ll looks outside and say, “I should put on corduroys and a long-sleeved shirt, it’s cold out today!”
I have had to get Hannah, especially, to change her clothes (or clothing choices, if I catch her before she’s actually dressed) a whole bunch in the last week, because we’ve been having overcast skies, and she really does come down dressed for fall or winter. The thing is, it is somewhat cooler in the morning, but it’s still going to get into the high 70s or 80s, and corduroys don’t work well for that. Isn’t this what layers are for?
Hannah gets very annoyed with me, and perhaps I should just let her sweat it out one day.
