I don't think Al Gore would have approved

We were walking out the door to church this morning when Daughter stopped abruptly and declared, "Daddy! I'm cold."

"Okay," I told her. "Run up to your room and get your cardigan."

"Awww," she said upon learning that there would be effort involved on her part.

Since we were standing in the kitchen, she surveyed the surroundings with a MacGyver-like eye for opportunity.

"We could just make a sweater out of paper towels," she said.

I explained to her that a paper towel cardigan might not be durable over the course of church and Sunday School.

She relented and trotted off to fetch her cotton sweater.

Besides, you can't wear paper until after Memorial Day, right?
