Most of my t-shirts come with one modest 'X.' But the biggest hoodie I own comes with five. It's a huge, navy-blue cotton army-tent of a thing. It actually pre-dates my relationship with my wife, and it started out being hers. We both like(d) mondo hoodies. The more X's the better. I have all my wife's hoodies now, and I wear almost all of them. I'm so glad we got 'em big.
Big hoodies feel like medieval cloaks to me, like a way to hide my devious thoughts in plain sight. I like all my clothes baggy, if I can have my way. You'll never see me wearing a pear of scrotum-squeezing skinny-leg jeans, regardless of those idiots claim to be fashion. I'm glad that my wife agreed, because now I have mementos of her love that I can wear. It makes me smile every time I put one on, even if that smile is on the inside.
I have no problem admitting to wearing my dead wife's clothes, although certainly not all of her clothes. I've never found bras that flattering on me, and I certainly wouldn't wear her panties without a matching bra. But her hoodies are a daily comfort. I am not looking forward to summer. It'll be too hot for hoodies.
So glad to hear Wolfie is doing well. I imagine he has washed like mad the last few days to get the "vet smell" gone and the "home smell" back in place.
ReplyDeleteUnder the heading of xxxl clothing ... I sized down my husband's size 13 wedding ring to size 7.5 so I could wear on my right hand. It feels right to wear.
He's been bathing like mad, and it seems that my other cat has started to reel in the 'tude about it was well.
DeleteThat's a lovely way to carry a memento around all the time. I haven't got the funds to resize anything, but I wear her engagement and wedding bands on a necklace every day.
