HUMOR
My Wife Always Tries to Neaten Me Up Before I Leave the House
Sometimes she’s not up when I leave
My wife has this insane idea that I care what people might think of my appearance when I leave the house. I know, that’s cray-cray!
Even if I’m just going to our community mailbox, she thinks someone might notice my mismatched clothes, my hasty and sloppy shaving, and my mussed-up hair. And really, why can’t I wear orange footwear? Apple’s new Visual Intelligence thinks well of them; see photo above.
And in some sense, aren’t we always near water in our over-55 community? Clogs are good for water threats. Apple Intelligence didn’t say it has to be visible water, did it? I feel going down to get the mail qualifies as a “casual outing”, don’t you?
So is grocery shopping. There is nothing somber about it; it’s not a funeral, though that is another place where my wife and I disagree: a funeral for a casual friend shouldn’t preclude casual clothing. I lose that argument, though.
My hair always upsets my wife. I figure it has its own desires, its own goals. Who am I to try smoothing down a cowlick or two? Does it really matter if some of it covers my forehead or that sideburns are uneven?
