This post is pretty ugly and I don't see any way around that. Maybe Nope will forgive me, someday. Maybe someone else will explain it to me or give a better example of girl shopping or why anyone would try on blue jeans without underwear.
Nope and I went shopping today.
I hadn't noticed before, but Nope shops like a girl. He has that muscleman swagger in the way he walks but shops around like a girl.
I typically go into a large department store with an agenda and a list, at least a mental list, I go to the area I want, buy the things I need and job done. Go home.
We were like walking up and down every aisle of a very large department store for a long time and I’m thinking what the hell ya doing? He stops and asks directions three times. Why do we need to ask directions? My mental just snapses.
Seriously, that would be fine and good, but Nope only buys Wrangler brand and there was a pretty big Wrangler sign in the department store because it is a popular brand for blue jeans.
Nope buys four Wrangler jeans. I think they are pretty cool, button-up jeans. I remember when button- up Levis used to be the height of cool.
Nope has to try on each of them. That is probably prudent because he could have lost weight since the last one.
He buys five Wrangler t-shirts and a Wrangler belt. He says he likes Wrangler and I respond that Wrangler must love him back.
On a side note, as the department store is taking an hour and a half in hemming his newly-purchased blue jeans, we cool our heels at Starbucks. The place is totally packed out despite selling me a pretty insipid Venti lemon iced tea at four dollars. I could get iced lemon tea for 5 cents outside the department store.
Nope is more difficult to please. He is on the second of three consecutive Saturdays as a strict vegetarian, including no dairy.
I’m trying to figure this out and it is something to do with his (our) ghost child, Ming Kwan. Apparently, Ming Kwan is wanting to go somewhere, sometime in the future and it involves some self sacrifice. I’m hoping that Ming Kwan will appreciate this and is giving up his standard chocolate fare because of the dairy content.
After a long discussion with the Starbucks fancy name coffee servers, Nope decides on a mango lemon slush.
We eventually get the hemmed jeans after Nope gets another tour of all of the Wrangler merchandise. The sales ladies are pretty good. .
The thing that freaks me out is that after returning home, Nope changed into his new clothes and I realize that he isn’t sporting any underwear.
But, I’m mostly angry with him that he wore his new Wrangler button-up jeans sans underwear and new red Wrangler t-shirt to go to an anti-government rally and didn’t take me after all that girly shopping expedition.
