Another fabulous fashion statement

While B and I were getting ready to head out for a bit last night, I reached around him to grab my purse. He paused and looked at me skeptically.
Him: So... are you all ready?
Me: Yeah, are you?
Him: Yeah. Um, so where exactly are we going?
Me: To the store and probably to grab something to eat.
Him: [after a pause] Oh, so um, is that what you're wearing then?
Me:[looking down at my bright green pajama pants and 10-year old red t-shirt] Yes.
Him: But isn't it pajamas?
Me: Yes.
I thought after this long he'd be used to the idea that I put very little effort into my appearance unless absolutely necessary. I wear my pajamas in public all the time. As a matter of fact I think I wore the exact same outfit to run errands with him one evening earlier this week.
Perhaps it was the wet hair, no makeup, glasses and the fact that my white bra could be seen through my worn down t-shirt that put him over the edge.
But I have to give him credit. After I said yes, he didn't bat an eye. And didn't act even a little bit embarrassed to be seen with me.

That's love. Brad, I doff my hat to you, as you truly amaze me with your patience and understanding of the gentler race. Bravo good sir.
In my defense... I think I'll start out all my doahleigh comments this way)
I am used to the fact that your natural skin is pajama, and you only wear the mask of clothes when forced to. I just thought we were sitting down to eat somewhere, and that perhaps you had forgotten to change into jeans or something.
I know baby. I just like to tease ya.
I wasn't being sarcastic. You ask, they say yes, you walk out the door and don't say another word. Fantastic.
Jason! You? sarcastic? I've only known you for what, a year, and I of all people know that you are never one to be sarcastic.
I do give Brad credit, Kevin won't let me go in public with him in my pajamas. Though he is slowly but surely getting better.
