spoken like a man

The equivalent of three large loads of laundry were purchased for the children at a thrift store for a mere $164.00 (shhhh....don't tell my husband it was that much...he didn't ask).  The clothes should get us through seven months--except for Peter's pants, which will have holes within two months.

Much excitement follows my homecoming on these days; the clothes basically look new, and they smell good thanks to some great air freshener at Goodwill.  Twenty minutes of admiring later, Peter says:

"You know, you really shouldn't spend all your money on clothes."

Spoken like a true man.

My unspoken response?

My thanks will come later.....from your wife.  She'll appreciate your clothes-combining sense.
