APPROVED PROCUREMENTS — K. PATTERSON
Department of Random Domain Management.
Household Procurement Summary.
Original source: Think About It, Dad — the Patagonia Kids Nano Puff Jacket? filed by the Agency for Overly Warm Outerwear Requests.
Item under review: One (1) Patagonia Kids Nano Puff Jacket.
Official claim: This jacket is so warm it could theoretically replace your residential furnace.
Supporting evidence: The item has accumulated 6,200 five-star reviews online.
That is not a typo. Six thousand two hundred. All five stars.
This is not a request from a third party. This is a direct plea from the child in question.
They presented the case with the phrase: Think about it, Dad.
I have thought about it. I have thought about our current furnace, which costs significantly less than a single jacket.
I have also thought about the fact that 6,200 strangers on the internet cannot all be wrong.
But I am the Chief Parental Negotiation Officer. My job is to balance joy with fiscal responsibility.
The jacket is lightweight, packable, and insulated with 100% recycled polyester. It is also priced at a level that makes me question all of my life choices.
However, the child has promised to wear it every single day until they graduate high school.
That is not a binding contract, but I admire the negotiation tactic.
We recommend moving this procurement to the Forthwith Fast-Track approval lane.
The alternative is a winter of hearing: But Dad, 6,200 people said it would work.
Signed, Greg The Decider Parsons, Chief Parental Negotiation Officer.
