Peer pressure

When I first started this parenting journey, I had minor foreboding thoughts about peer pressure and how it might affect my kids in their teens.  Didn't expect it to be used against me like this:  On a day when temperatures were forecast to be very close to 'close the schools' limits (for the record: -20 temp or -40 windchill), but not close enough, Eli walked by in the upstairs hallway and just off-handedly commented, "I hear all the cool parents are keeping their kids home due to the cold tomorrow."
