Parent, looking at the jacket tired at my waist: Why?? It’s stupidly hot and humid out. You don’t need that.
Me, blithely ignoring their concern while getting into the car: More pockets. Grocery store cold aisles are cold. It’s a rain coat and that’s always good to have. Because I usually regret not having it when I don’t bring it along. POCKETS.
Me in my head: I also have an unhealthy fondness for clones with kamas and this gives the socially acceptable alternative to the sensation of wearing one and that makes me feel a little bit more confident.
