As temperatures climbed into the 90s and we finished reading Where The Wild Things Are for the three hundredth time, The Roc flatly refused to don his brand-new crustacean-themed T-shirt-and-shorts sleepwear set. I finally managed to coax him into bed by promising to buy him some footsie jammies the next day.
What was I thinking? Buying footsie jammies in July is akin to buying a Halloween costume in October, which is to say impossible. Luckily, a quick lap around the mall turned up one sale rack with some of the dregs left over from winter, marked down to $4.99. Upon closer inspection, I realized that they were all girl jammies: pink with blue bunnies, lavender with yellow ducks, pale blue with stars and rainbows, and white with an eco-conscious melange of green turtles, frogs, leaves, peace signs, and polka dots that, upon even closer inspection, turned out to be inexpert renderings of the planet Earth. But I'm all for saving the environment, and I was not about to quibble with $4.99 footsie jammies in July.
