Staying warm

This morning the Kid was in his chair playing a video game in just his boxer shorts.

I'm cold, he says.

Put on some sweatpants and a shirt, I say.

I shouldn't have to shiver in my own house, he says.

You have the 'misfortune' to have a dad who considers the world in a small way. Your goose bumps rate very low. Put on a shirt, some pants, some socks.

He does.

I'm a lucky man.
