Some of you may recall, a couple of weeks ago, Mr Surfer made an impromptu interstate trip.
Leaving in such a heated rush, he left with not much other than a carry on backpack.
Departing straight from the office to the airport, he had a few precious minutes in the office carpark to change into casual clothes and slipping on the only pair of jeans he packed.
I wish I had been there to see the horror on his face when he tried to squeeze into the first leg, only to quickly realized that he had accidentally run out the door with a pair of mine.
While frantically hopping on one leg, with his ankles caught in the denim and his butt (a sexy one, of course) in mid air, a colleague happened to drive by and spotted him.
All class.
It wasn’t until later that evening, when he had settled at his destination, that he called, telling me about the wardrobe malfunction.
“So, what? You’re going to wear your business pants for 2 days?”
It astounded me that he could mistake my jeans for his.
“Um, well…no. But I looked in 5 different shops and all they have are those skinny jeans…You know, the ones that Paul wears.”
I started laughing hysterically into the phone.
Paul is our next door neighbour’s 23 year old son. He’s a funky guy and his trendy sweeping fringe haircut is perfectly matched with his “Idontgiveaneff” Gen Y attitude.
Skinny jeans are his staple.
And straight away, I envisioned Mr Surfer in the same attire yet looking…oh, so wrong.
Now, my husband is in denial about his age. I won’t reveal what it is, suffice to say, he is waaay beyond skinny jeans.
As soon as he walked in the door, I gave him the up-down-then-up-again-are-you-for-real-stare.
Fair indication that he needed to let go of his long gone youth.
Then we had date night last Saturday. And lo and behold, guess what came out of the wardrobe to make another fashion faux pas appearance?
“Look, Lovey! They’re wearing the same kind!” said my beloved Surfer Man, grinning madly as he pointed to some young hip 20-something year old dudes.
Hanging my head in embarrassment, I finally accepted the hard reality.
Those stupid pants are here to stay.
