Recently my DS has complained that he does not seem to have as many blue jeans in his clean laundry. Of course, I ignored him completely, since he never puts his laundry away, if I don’t put it away for him in his dresser, it just goes onto the lateral filing cabinet that I call the “spare bed” in his bedroom.

This morning I did not have to get up at my usual 3:45 am to go to work, as school was closed due to a teacher’s workshop day, so I had the luxury of sleeping late – all the way until 7am! Not bothering to pull up the window shades or turn on the lights, I started to get dressed to take DH to a doctor’s appointment. I grabbed the top pair of jeans from the stack of jeans I had put in my closet, and I marvelled at how the jeans I was putting on had “real” pockets, and how nice they conformed to my butt, not too tight, not too loose. I knew I had lost a few pounds recently, but I didn’t realize I had lost that much!

Putting on my shoes, I noticed that the jeans were a little bit longer than usual, so I “hmpphhed” to myself and cuffed them up without giving it any more thought. Years ago it was the style to wear jeans that were too long, and it was simply second nature to simply cuff up any that were too long.

All morning long, I was enjoying this odd pair of jeans, wondering where they had been hiding for so long – these are turning into my favorite pair! Got home from the errand running, decided to treat myself to a short nap. That’s when I made the discovery, as the jeans fell to the floor at the side of my bed – I was wearing a pair of my son’s jeans! LOLOL! I never would have imagined that his jeans would fit me! He is about 7″ taller than I am, and although we weigh the same amount, he sure looks a lot thinner than me because of the height difference!

I told my DS about the discovery, and I think he was insulted to think that I can fit into his jeans! LOLOL!

Now, I have decided to buy ALL of my future blue jeans from the men’s department – they are usually half the price of women’s jeans, they fit me better, and they have REAL POCKETS! To me, a “make or break” decision on most of clothes is based on their pockets (or lack thereof!)

So, for those other gals out there that want jeans that fit well, cost less, and have REAL POCKETS, meet me in the men’s department!
