Can there be too much of a good thing? My son would say yes based on his experience this morning.
His high school band was marching in a Veteran’s Day (weekend?) parade this morning. The weather forecast indicated that most of the morning would be as cold as it was last night (low 40's F). And he was pretty cold last night while playing in the band for a football game.
Fortunately one of the band moms handed out hand warmers to all the band members. That definitely helped. But his toes were very cold even with three pairs of socks.

So this morning, before dropping him off, I stopped at a store and got him a selection of warmers – hand/body, feet, and toes. I wanted him to have options and to be as comfortable as possible during the parade. However I noticed that the morning didn't seem nearly as cold as the forecast indicated.
When I went to pick him up and asked how things went, he said he nearly cooked!! He decided to wear the foot warmers AND the toe warmers at the same time! He wasn't taking any chances. Well they kicked in all right.
There was no time to take them out since they were marching so he had to continue playing with very toasty feet. Hearing him describe everything cracked me up!! Fortunately he was seeing the humor in it too. We both agreed that sometimes there can be too much of a good thing... and this had been one of those times!
