Sometimes we wear funny clothes here. Yes, we wear winter clothing which is much different than what some of you wear. We do have some very stylish winter clothing. I don't wear the stylish stuff.
This post is on something else about our clothing.
I was at my favorite place for lunch (Wendys) the other day and there were quite a few kids of the 7 -8 year variety. These kids were soccer players. 90% of our soccer is played on outdoors fields. We have some indoor soccer fields suitable for winter play but only the top leagues have enough money to use indoor facilities.
So most of the little kids wait for spring to begin their soccer league.
Now the other day in Wendys I saw one kid with terrible pink and yellow plastic soccer shoes. Then I noticed something else. He was wearing shorts! It's winter! Then I noticed that other kids were wearing shorts. The shorts just showed below their winter coat. What's more the winter boots came close the the bottom of the shorts.
I wish I had a picture of these little guys with their mixture of winter and summer clothing, but I don't have a phone so no photos.
Now I thought that was a funny mixture of winter and summer clothing!
That is hilarious and something I could see my kids doing!
ReplyDeleteI think the parents were trying to save the kids some problems to look after their clothing.
DeleteHah! Even if there was only a little bit of bare leg I bet it was still a chilly bit!
ReplyDeleteFortunately it wasn't very cold.
DeleteWho is Wendy? Do you know her personally? I guess she makes wholesome Canadian dishes like mooseburgers and roasted beaver in maple syrup.
ReplyDeleteI should be so lucky. Yes, it's a chain for burgers and a whole lot of other fast food.
Delete...we went to a Christmas concert Sunday and as we walked to our car in the snow I saw a couple of kids wearing shorts and rubber flip flops. No brain, no pain!
ReplyDeleteFlip flops? that would be dangerous but kids can fall and get up with no harm done.
DeleteFrom time to time I see kids dressed like this but it isn't usually as cold here as it is where you live.
ReplyDeleteYes, they could get away with this get up on the coast.
DeleteHello, I am sure the children with shorts on were a little cold. My son was warm blooded and tried wearing shorts in the winter. Have a happy day and a great new week!
ReplyDeleteKids like I saw are actually out side very little . They go from the car to the arena .
DeleteUniversity students here, especially the guys, routinely wear shorts in winter. And we thought they were the smart one........
ReplyDeleteOh don't go there. I went to university and I did some pretty dumb things. Young men think they're invincible.
DeleteWell, some people get really warm when they exercise, like me. I don't wear shorts even in the summer, though. But when I was a kid, it was a different story. :-)
ReplyDeleteI always dress in layers. If I'm active I warm up.
DeleteThere are one or two characters round here who wear shorts all year round.
ReplyDeleteWell. I guess it can be done but it's not for me.
DeleteKids are so funny. Playing in style!
ReplyDeleteStyle has a lot to do with it.
DeleteBBBrrrrrrr.
ReplyDeleteYou remember being young and cold didn't have any effect on you!!!
DeleteThat is a cute picture. See, you didn’t need a camera!
ReplyDeleteI guess if you don't have a camera you better know how to describe things.
DeleteFor some reason it is cool to be cold if you now what I mean. But then I’m a boomer, so apparently I am neither able to understand nor qualified to make comment. I will say that I saw a lad walking to school on a cold morn with his coat tied around his waist. I assume that his mother made him wear the coat but that he removed it when he was out of eyesight.
ReplyDeleteHere , I see high school kids with just a tee shirt. That's nuts.
DeleteWe used to see that in Fairbanks. I guess they think they're cool and maybe a little crazy. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, they think they're cool and I bet they're more than cool.
DeleteHi Red, Neat post. By the way, I like Wendys too. What is your favorite sandwich?
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is the 1/4 lb bacon sandwich.
DeleteWe live in Nashua, NH, and regularly see people who are wearing shorts even though the calendar indicates it is wintertime.
ReplyDeleteNot my cup of tea.
DeleteI passed by a guy last night wearing shorts.
ReplyDeleteI love winter, but I'm reasonably smart enough to dress for it. This nitwit isn't.
Not too long ago, my husband and I saw a guy wearing shorts at a Tim Hortons. This isn't the first time. I've even seen some women wearing flip flops in late fall when it's freezing outside. I feel cold just looking at them!
ReplyDeleteMy son wore shorts as a kid, all thru the New York winters. He only donned long pants when he got his first job!
ReplyDeleteYou do see some strange sights.
ReplyDeleteI'm 70, yet I often wear shorts with a heavy coat. Here in Western Oregon, the winters are mild, and I wear shorts until the temperature drops below 42. This means that I wear shorts well over half the time in winter.
