The other night, feeling the effects of our unrelenting winter cold, Will made an announcement to Charlie and me.
"Daddy, we should move someplace warmer."
"Really? Like where?"
"Like Hawaii, Mexico ... Michigan."
Apparently Will has been unable to escape all the news photos of tanned, relaxed Michiganders relaxing outside in the January warmth. Yes, if we moved into Candy's neighborhood in Trenton we'd spend every winter weekend at the beach building sand castles and sipping margaritas.
Sarcasm aside, I explained to him the downsides of living in warm-weather states like Florida, Texas, and Arizona -- oppressively hot summers, lower-quality schools, etc. Which led to a short lecture on property taxes. Which led to Will falling asleep -- mission accomplished!
