As seen in many homes around America, we have this red, fuzzy blanket in our house that lies over the back of our recliner. Typical, no? In my mind, this blanket is strategically placed so that the occupant of the recliner will have something cozy to throw over themselves when the winter chill hits. HOWEVER.... this red, fuzzy blanket is never to be found. Why, you may ask? Because my husband has decided that this throw would be better used as a cape. (I am so not kidding.)
I couldn't say why, but my guy has been totally rebelling against clothing lately (keep this in mind, those of you who feel that a friendly visit without a warning phone call is "spontaneous!"). First thing in the morning, he walks in his skivvies to find his cape (he actually calls it this), ties it around his neck, and then walks around the house doing his morning routine. Now, not only does this bring up the whole chest-hair-on-the-blanket-used-by-others situation, but come on.... I work with mentally challenged people all day. Can't a girl catch just a little normalcy in her day?
I was starting to get used to the cape thing because acceptance was easier than fighting this one. But what I REFUSE to get used to is "the skirt" that has emerged since yesterday. I came home and my husband came walking out of the guest bedroom wearing a t-shirt and the red, fuzzy blanket (formally known as "Cape") tied around his waist, resembling a floor-length skirt (slit up the front....and I gotta be honest, it wasn't super clear if anything else was between that red, fuzzy blanket and a whole other kind of hair I don't want on that throw!). I opted for silence at first. But then I asked him if he would be able to help me carry something up from downstairs.
"Ugghh! But I'll trip on my skirt!"
OH MY GOSH, ARE YOU SERIOUS!?!?! Grow a pair, hike it up, and carry up that box or I'm going to do something to you that's going to make that skirt a necessary part of your daily wardrobe! Realizing how utterly ridiculous he sounded, he dutifully went to the basement to carry up the box. Things I Never Thought I'd Hear My Husband Say, Volume 1, coming to stores soon.
