When a well-intentioned compliment goes very, very wrong

Jamie: [Fondly] Do you remember you were wearing that sweater when we met?

Me: Holy crap--that was six years ago. I NEED NEW CLOTHES!!!!!!!!!

I will see you at the mall! Maybe you should visit shelley at simplypersnickety.blogspot.com I bet she can help you purge that closet!!!

Have fun shopping!

Well, he did mean it as a compliment...

I'm amazed there's a man out there with a memory that good. I think my husband might sometimes forget he met me at all, let alone what I was wearing.

Well- if 6 years and two kids later, it still fits- Congrats- but update the closet just the same :)

And for him to remember what you wore? EXTRA Cudoos!

look at the bright side... he remembered. most guys wouldn't have.

I'm impressed he remembered. And I wish that I could still fit into the clothes I wore when I first met my husband.

My husband could say that about me too and we've been married for 16 years. SO sad!

Melissa said...
