Gloves and Mittens

I was listening to WJR out of Detroit on the day before Thanksgiving and they were talking about the Thanksgiving Day Parade that the whole area was excited about.  They predicted that the weather would be very cold and that people should dress warmly.  One of the things they said that impressed me was that people should wear mittens instead of gloves because mittens let your fingers keep each other warm.  Gloves separate your fingers and keep them from warming each other.

I never thought of that!  I've had this idea that gloves are for grownups and mittens are for children.  There's so little you can do with your hands in mittens, but gloves give you more freedom.

I don't even own any mittens!  Maybe I should get some.  It gets pretty cold in our area.
