I came up with a great idea for a post this weekend. It was super great really, but it involved me getting pictures of Little Man in some very specific legwear (not chaps you sickos, and not “not chaps” for you even more sickos). Alas and alack, the camera was uncharged and the laundry was undone, so the post- with real pictures- is not to be. So without further ado… the post that would have been better with a real pic, but I doctored some up to prove the point. <-- End Meta Posting
While looking through the laundry this weekend, or sorting it, if you will, I noticed that there are many similarities in our respective wardrobes. We have similar shorts. We have some similar shirts. He has waaay more dinosaur shirts than I do though. The thing that really was noticeable though was the preponderance of red pants that Little Man owns. He has at least 4 pairs of red pants. I have none. I am quite okay with not owning any red leg wear though because I realized something upon noticing this dearth of red pants in my wardrobe. Red pants are not acceptable leg attire for men. I am not sure where the age break is for the red pant rule, but there is clearly a red pant age rule.
On kids, red pants are cool. Some women can get away with wearing red pants. Men can’t. I can live with that. I prove my point below.
Cool: Look at how happy free and fun Little Man is in his stunning red pants. He is carefree and fancy free as he jogs on a friend's couch.
Uncool: I look like I am wearing parachute pants circa 1983. I would clearly be uncomfortable in this gawdy attire. My belly is all bloated circa 2006-2007 though. Get to the gym, Tubby!
To recap:
Tomorrow’s 20 Questions Tuesday will be about color
I have a presentation tomorrow
It is only half done
I really need to get moving on it
I have 2 active projects right now
I have a presentation tomorrow
I have an artistic cartography portfolio to get together
I have some other art I need to finalize
I have waaaaay too much on my plate right now
My days need to be 36 hours this week
They are still only 24 hours long
No matter how much I push and pull them
Most colored pants are taboo for men unless they are participating in a sporting event
Back to the grind

No red pants were harmed in the making of this post

Come on SRH, you used to be all about sticking it to the man (I am now going to demonstrate my maturity by just letting that one go). Break the mold of conformity and "wear red pants." And if they're made of velvet and have lacy ankles, what of it?
I will be on the lookout for an adult-sized dinosaur shirt for you.
Gah! I hate it when the camera batteries are low and I had no idea. It just happened again this weekend. Kirk and his cousins were all on the same hobby horse. Hilarity ensued and I missed it.
If you make sure to have Little Man with you at all times while wearing the red pants, you will get away with it because everyone will be too busy noticing how cute he is to pay attention to your pants.
Anon:
I welcome the dinosaur shirt. I would even pay you for one.
Belsum:
Much hilarity ensues in Casa Del SRH. Very little hilarity is captured via recording devices.
AllRileyedUp:
Even his cuteness can't detract from the oddness of wearing red pants.
