Conversation With a 9-Year-Old: Dress Code Edition

[J is hanging out in the bathroom, watching me put on makeup, I am wearing a wool skirt and a sleeveless blouse]

J: Is that what you're wearing to work?

Me: Yes.

J: I mean ... you look nice ...

Me: Yes...?

J: But, well ... maybe you should wear something with sleeves? I mean, because you might get cold!

Me: I'll be wearing a jacket.

J [exasperated]: I KNOW, but for when you're in the office.

Me: No, I mean I'll be wearing a suit jacket, that goes with this skirt.

J: Oh, okay. Good.

[long pause]

J: Does the jacket have sleeves?

Me: Yes!
