pants, the overrated clothing

Iris uber Alles, like Lady GaGa (whom incidentally she admires greatly), likes to abstain from wearing pants. "Pants are overrated", Iris rants. Unlike Lady GaGa, Iris thankfully limits this behavior to the home, and lately she sports a bright pink Slanket. A day is a successful day in Iris's opinion when it can be spent entirely pantsless.

As Iris walked across a room in her pink Slanket, the effect is like that of a hospital gown (and indeed it made me preemptively cringe on my own behalf, as I'm scheduled to check into a hospital for a few days in the near future). This can lead to unwanted commentary. "Iris," chirped Lola sweetly, "your underpants are just dazzling today!"

I remember when Mo wouldn't wear pants. She would come home from school and strip at the front door. Her father and I were just hopeful that she would outgrow it before she was a teenager. At twelve she did, but now she is 16 and allergic to pants again.

As a child my younger sister used to love playing in the garden and frequently used to remove her pants and leave them just lying around somewhere for mum to go hunting for in the evening.

We like to remind her of this tendancy in front of friends and boyfriends. =D
