Aaron often talks about things being “half” – like when he said he was “half-way losing weight” – or that he’s “half tired” and so forth. Today he walked in the kitchen and said, “Mom, this morning I went outside, but it was half cold and half warm, so I came back inside.” I asked him why he came inside.
He looked at me like I was more than a little dense and answered, “Because I couldn’t stand being half cold and half warm!”
So I just had to ask him, “Well, which were you? Half cold or half warm?”
And of course his response was, “I was half cold AND half warm!”
I then urged him to go back outside. I told him that it was 53 degrees outside…………and I resisted the urge to tell him that 53 is half cold and half warm. I thought about it, though!
So outside he went, with his mulch trashcan, and stayed for awhile. I snuck a picture out the window as he busily “worked” in the mulch and relaxed in the sunshine.
When he came inside, I asked, “So Aaron, how was it outside just now?”
He dryly answered, “It was still half cold and half warm.”
I thought it was warm, Aaron.
“No, it was half cold and half warm.”
Later tonight I had to ask one more time if he had a good time going outside today.
“Yeah, but it was still half cold and half warm.”
Well, nothing is going to change Aaron’s mind on the half cold/half warm weather today. I think we need to tell the weather forecasters about this.
At least their forecasts could be right half the time!
He Said What?! 
Perhaps his coat was “warm” while the rest of him was “cold”? Thanks for the smile! =-)
