“I am not going outside until the temperature is above my age”

“I’m not going outside until (the) temperature is above my age” is a winter saying that has been printed on many images. The older one gets, the hotter the temperature needed.

Ever wonder why kids don’t mind going out when it’s cold? Or why the older you get, the less you like the cold? Well, I think it’s because our bodies have this unwritten rule about how the temperature needs to be above your age before you can enjoy being outside.

I grew up with a family that tended to live by the phrase from a winter-themed cartoon, “I’m not going outside until the temperature is above my age.”
