winter pony foot

caroline takes off her shoes and socks in the car on the way home from school pretty much every day. in the summer, it's not a big deal and i let her run up the driveway barefoot.

but winter is a little different. she argues with me after i tell her she shouldn't be outside in bare feet because of the cold. she protests, claiming her feet are not bare - she has winter pony feet.

???????

she has a whole backstory to explain the concept of winter pony feet and why shoes are not necessary if you have them. it makes no sense whatsoever. i can't even convey any of it. something about a pony. and feet. in winter.

she's weird.
