Conversation with Hope

 

Hope is sick. She's been sick all week which means she's spent almost the entire week in her pyjamas. Today the buses were cancelled due to Ottawa's seriously crappy January weather freezing rain.  This mans that Emily, who always insists on going to school on a snow day, has to be picked up at the end of the day instead of taking the bus home.  And this means that I prefer that Hope gets dressed.  And thus this conversation:

 

Hope: I wish I could play outside.

 

Me:  Wait, you want to play outside but you're not willing to get dressed to go pick up Emily.

 

Hope: I don't mind wearing clothes, it's just that I don't want my hands to have to put the clothes on my body.

 

Even in sickness, this kid is super awesome.
