So, I'm sure that this happens in more than just our little household, at least I'm hoping it does (for my husband's sake). This morning I needed to leave the house a little early so I asked Jeremy to get Kate dressed for church...
Take 1
Kate comes out with one of her summer dresses on....never mind that there is a nice blanket of snow on the ground outside. I say, "Umm, try again." So they both walk back to her room...
Take 2
Much better this time, Kate comes out with a sweater, skirt and a pair of tights on. O.k., that's looking more like winter clothing...except, what's that around her ankles? As I examine a little closer I realize that Dad just hadn't pulled the tights up all the way and so she had elephant ankles (or as Kate called them, "bracelets on my ankles"). So I have her stand up on the bed so that I can pull them up and as I am doing that I think to myself, 'All of the tights that she has are from last winter, if anything these should be a little small'. Still a little puzzled, I start gathering the extra material from her ankles to pull it up towards her waist and the tights just keep on stretching and stretching. Now I'm thinking that something just isn't right, so I take them off of her to exam the darn things. Mystery solved...THESE ARE MY TIGHTS!!! I just start dying of laughter. Kate wants to know why I am laughing and I tell her 'Oh, just because your Dad is a little crazy.' She thinks that's funny and we have a good laugh together as I put the right size tights on her. By this time Jer has made his way into the shower and after I get her dressed she proceeds to the bathroom, throws open the shower curtain and says, "Dad, you are a little bit crazy!" Gotta love him for trying! (You might be wondering how my tights made it into the drawer with Kates tights in the first place...Here's the deal in our house, I wash and dry all the clothes and Jer folds and puts them away. He usually does this task while watching sports....enough said!)
