He can even continue to wear the oh so holy undies if he so wishes. He can throw out his own clothes. <br /><br />Also, if he's doing a chore - I just shut the fuck up and let him do it. I wouldn't want him to never do that chore again. I'm not stupid. hahaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17396378364156813235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-6526824618587607112012-03-23T04:47:14.219-04:002012-03-23T04:47:14.219-04:00We're the opposite at our house.

They were good clothes once, but they don't get thrown away until the fabric is so thin that it bursts when I bend over.<br /><br />Any woman who doesn't understand the value of old work clothes probably hasn't done a lick of good hard work herself. <br /><br />I would never throw away anyone else's property, even my husband's. I'm sorry your Dad's overalls were stolen from you.Catch Her in the Wryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13052541966405145087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-55822329292026624882012-03-21T21:32:56.499-04:002012-03-21T21:32:56.499-04:00You gave me those overalls and I said I didn't...You gave me those overalls and I said I didn't want them.

I never considered getting rid of them because they were his favourite, but we stayed with his mum for a short period of time after our travels and they mysteriously disappeared. Clearly she did not feel the same about the treasured pair of shorts.<br /><br />This story made me a little sad to think about your losing your comfy overalls especially considering they were your dad's.Shelly - Tropical Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00464868349672755774noreply@blogger.com
