Some Things Never Change

Mama: "You are not wearing that fleece pajama top to school today. You will be too warm. Go brush your teeth and find something with short sleeves and then we are out the door."

(4 minutes pass)

Mama: "Kid, you are not wearing THAT pajama shirt to school today either. Change it."

Little C: "But this one haaaaaas short sleeves!"

Mama: "Are you counting on my stupidity or yours to pull off that argument?"

Little C: "Well can I at least wear pajamas all day tomorrow?"

Mama: "Yes, darling, tomorrow you may. Now change your shirt AND brush your teeth with an actual toothbrush AND toothpaste AND I am going to check how clean they are AND the shirt must be one of the folded ones from the third drawer down on the right."

Little C: "Arghghghghghg....!" (stomp, stomp, stomp)
