…So I had to go put on big-person clothes. Seriously, I am one of those White People who Likes Shorts: I am happy to run around Maryland all summer in cargo shorts and a t-shirt, because this is America. But it’s also my wife’s birthday, and when I casually brought up how we were dressing to go to dinner it was clear that today’s Let’s dress like a cleaned-up hobo! look just wasn’t gonna fly.
Mind you, I’m just wearing blue jeans and a shirt with long sleeves. Then again, it’s Maryland in July. This is a bit of a torment for me.
*bites lip, shakes fist with thumb on top* I feel your pain.
Albeit in NOVA and minus the birthday. But your pain — I feel it.
May she enjoy many more.

I sympathise. My doc stuck me in compression stockings, and my wife feels that my going out wearing those with shorts is beneath my dignity.
I say dignity is internal. And overrated.
