WHen Ammo left for school he had no coat on. I said maternally,- well, really I said it nastily because I don't want a sick kid- Put a coat on. He said, there's one in the car. I said, that's dumb. You have to walk to the car, what good does it do? WIll you put it on in the car? I get this Teen "mom, you're so dense" Look- No, it'll be all cold- I don't want to put it on all cold. Well, will you put it on to wear into school, then? He's getting very exasperated with me Nooo! Then I'd have to carry it around with me all day. By now, I realize that we are having one of those mother-son conversations where neither of us has any hope of comprehending the other and I give up, though I am burning to know why the coat is IN the car to begin with. I should keep a list of all these puzzling questions for when they grow up- except that it may be like in Peter Pan when you forget about being in NeverNeverland, and they won't know the answers any more.

43 degrees right now. I recently bought my car some presents because it had been stalling at red lights. I bought, from Restoration Hardware, a kit which contains a reflective triangle that folds up, a rotating yellow light with that you plug into your cigarette lighter and put on your roof, and a flashlight with a red plastic cone. I also got another flashlight that will stand up on the ground so you can point it at the car, say at the tires, and leave your hands free. I also bought an ultra fancy tire gauge since I read somewhere that the major cause of tire wear is improper inflation, and truck tires aren't cheap. I've also got a plastic box like the ones milk bottles come in, with oil, radiator fluid, brake fluid, power steering fluid, water, and jumper cables. But no coat.
