On the way to elementary school at 8:30 am - it is very cold and there is still a lot of snow on the ground....
Me: You look cold - where are your gloves?
My 10 year old son: I don't know.
Me: Did you leave them at school?
Son: I don't know.
Me: I guess I'll have to e-mail your teacher and let her know you need to stay inside during recess.
Son: Wait...let me check here (unzips the outer pocket of his backpack)...oh, here they are! (seems genuinely surprised - pretty good acting job)
I'm going to be in big trouble when the things he values most aren't as innocent as elementary school recess...
