My grandson asked why I always set out his clothes the night before but he still wears yesterday's shirt to school

I told him it's called strategic wardrobe staging.

I lay out the fresh outfit with love and precision—matching socks, clean collar, the works. But when morning comes and he's already dressed in wrinkled yesterday, I consider it a victory that he's wearing clothing at all.

Punchline

The outfit I picked is really more of a suggestion than a requirement. Like flossing, or arriving on time.
