Things My Child (Who Knows Nothing About Skiing) Said While Planning His Halloween Costume (“a Skier”)
Somebody please take him skiing.
“I’m going to need a scarf. A very long scarf.”
“Do skiers wear hats?”
“A skier would never wear those.” — to a dear friend, as she held up a perfect pair of snow pants at Goodwill. A friend who has logged more hours on Utah slopes than my son has been alive. A friend who is also a professional stylist. For activewear brands.
“Where is your scarf? I need it right now.” — Sept. 5, 2024
“This will be my ski.” Holds up homemade shot-ski, a relic from our 2020 neighborhood quarantine cocktail club.
“What’s THAT supposed to mean!???” — to his father, who asked if he were ready to “hit the slopes, bro.”
“What’s THAT supposed to mean!???” — to his mother, who mentioned “fresh pow-pow.”
“What’s THAT supposed to mean!???” — to both his parents, who told him he was holding a shot-ski, not a real ski.
“These pants are HUGE! I can’t wear them.” Halloween morning. First time wearing snow pants in his life.
“They are broken. They make a SOUND when I walk!!!” First time wearing snow pants in his life.
“Everybody in Colorado skis in a scarf.” This one was tricky, but we found the missing piece of the puzzle: an actual puzzle piece from his United States geography puzzle.
Ladies and Gentlemen, everybody in Colorado:
Hilarious and sooooo him
