The Great Rationalizer

Me: Go put some clothes on for church.

G: Is it going to be hot or cold?

Me: Cold.

*Minutes pass*

*G turns up in old jeans and grey sweatshirt with sparkly heart.*

Me: Don't you want to wear a dress for church?

G: You said it was going to be cold!

Me: You could just wear a warm dress and leggings or tights . . .

G: I want to wear a shirt and pants.  Boys get to wear shirts and pants!

Me: Well, I don't care--you can wear it if you want to. [They play outside during children's church and there's a sandbox--it's pretty casual.]

G, exasperatedly: This heart means it's my "I love church" shirt.
