cool and the collar
I was at the playground with Greta. The sun was hot.
Folks, that little girl is giving me Farmer Tan. She wants to go outside all the time — something that gives me joy to see, given that so many kids stay inside so much that (this is really happening) they're getting short-sighted — but, much as I enjoy romping around the neighborhood and the back yard and the playground and the park with her, all this sun is making my forearms and neck certified brown.
So, on this particular sunny day, midday, I wanted to protect my neck. Just give it a bit of a break. I was wearing a knit-collar shirt, whose collar flips up nicely to protect the neck. But just then I saw a couple bring their kid nearby, and I flipped it down.
Yes, I actually turned my collar down in an attempt to look more cool. A world-historic first.
Don't judge me. I didn't want them to think I was That Guy.
