Cub Country

Last night we began to get Sam ready for Cub Country, because he had to be ready to go by 7 a.m. this morning.

So first, I told him to find his shoes so that he would not have to frantically look for them in the morning.

Sam: "I need shoes?"

(I realize you have been hanging out in your pajamas and bare feet all week, throwing on flip-flops when absolutely needed. But yes, you are going to the mountains and you need shoes and socks.)

Next, I asked Sam if he knew where his scarf was (meaning his blue bandana-like scarf that goes around his neck as part of his scout uniform.)

Sam: "Why do I need my scarf? Is it going to be cold?"

Oh, boy.
