Even in Summer

I realize this is the second story of its kind in less than a month, but this is what I've got.

I'm writing on my blog and my girls are playing dress-up in the playroom.  One comes down every five or seven minutes to ask for something, report something, or to show off something.  It's working.

It wasn't a terrible surprise to see a little girl come down wearing nothing but a safari vest asking for help to zip it up.  I asked why she wasn't wearing any other clothes.  She explained that she was going exploring.  I asked again why she wasn't wearing clothes; explorers do wear clothes.  She answered plaintively: "It's summer!" (We'll ignore that an hour ago I said that I thought this was the coldest day that ever happened anytime, anywhere.)

Well, baby, even in summer, we wear clothes.  We just do!
