Mom took Charles off on an errand this afternoon, convincing him to go with her by promising to buy him a cookie (that wasn’t enough for Alice, who stayed behind). As they were leaving I noticed that Mom let Charles sit in the front seat. Charles immediately reached for the butt warmer even as Mom tried to dissuade him. With just a little prompting (as a good Dad does) Charles countered with ‘I will stay home if I can’t use the butt warmer” and Mom gave in. Charles will stand up to Mom but not Poly.
P.S. I should note that it was about 72°F out on a beautiful sunny day so it was likely that Charles’ butt would have remained unfrozen and attached even if he had not been able to use the butt warmer.
