Amused Musings On A Slightly Absurd World

During the recession, the media has been advising people to “shop their closets” and find “new” clothes by breaking out items you haven’t worn in a while. Well this week, I was house-sitting for my parents and, while staying in my younger brother’s old room, I decided to see what was what. My brother has left a whole lot of clothes behind since he moved out of my folks’ house, so, even before the recession hit, I would take a t-shirt here or there just to pad around in or to use as a night shirt. After all, I’m not a dude and I’m not really trying to look like one. But I noticed he had a lot of nice denim and I thought maybe I could find something, although I did not have much hope ’cause he used to wear his clothes really baggy in the day and he’s taller than me. But lo and behold, I found a pair of jeans that actually fit–and they were from the Gap and I could rock them without in the least looking like a boy. I also found another pair of pants and a pair of shorts (with the tag still on them) that I could knock around in. So, I made out like a bandit [literally]. Will my brother want these clothes back? I dunno, but whatever, they’re mine now. So people, if you have siblings, shop their closets and don’t sleep on it just because your sibling is the other gender.
