Fashion Police

Me: Hey, Willie, I ordered you a winter coat today.  It's awesome.
Wm: Is it a puffy coat?
Me: No.  It has thinsulate!  So it's lightweight but still really warm.
Wm: GOOD.  I would be embarrassed to wear a puffy coat.
Me: Really?  I didn't know that was a thing.
Wm: Yeah, it's a thing.  Puffy coats are ugly.  I will not wear a puffy coat.
Me: Good to know...
Wm: When will it be here?
Me: In about a week.
Wm: Cool!  I will wear it to school!
Me: Dude...it's 90 degrees.  I just found a rad coat that was reasonably priced, so I got it now.  But...it's 90 degrees.  And like 3,000% humidity.
Wm: Hmph.

Wm is growing up!  This is the first time he has shown any interest in his wardrobe or would be "embarrassed" to wear something.  Although, he still thinks it's supercool that I got his name monogrammed onto the coat.  I'm sure in a couple years that will be totally lame.  I'm also pretty sure that, if I allowed it, he would start wearing his winter coat to school immediately.

And, FYI, in the first grade crowd, puffy coats are SO last year.
