You Can Dress Them Up, But You Can't Take Them Out?? or is this true?

The thing I love about Ray and my relationship is we *laugh*. We laugh a lot. We tease, we poke, we have fun! So I can tell you this story and laugh *with* Ray, cause he knows I tell it in love and also, because I told him I *would* be blogging on it!!! *grin*

You can dress them up, but can't take them anywhere! Well, that doesn't work for this story! *grin* When we were getting ready the night before we left, I was going through my wardrobe looking for the 'right thing'. Ray had no idea or care what he was going to wear. He grabbed a pair of jeans and figured 'good enough'.

I said, "Ray, you can't wear them like that. You'll have to iron them." He looked at the jeans and looked baffled and didn't understand how important this was! I mean, as I said to him, this is like an interview. "Would you visit Donald Trump for an interview in wrinkled jeans? These people are deciding if we should adopt or no!"

Mr. Agreeable agreed to wear those comfortable gym pants instead of jeans, so he didn't have to iron. *smile* He is so indulging of my ways!

He is smart enough to know that this adoption is not linked to how we dress. But I, on the other hand, am thinking - we can make or break it if you wear 'a navy blue shirt with black gym pants."

I have to tell you, as I write this this story you *have* to get this as Ray and I had the conversations or the meaning will be lost. Ray is very agreeable and I am not nagging him. I am just thinking 'how we must look'. *smile*

As we were leaving the next morning Ray is at the door in his nice black gym pants and a nice black tshirt and he looks wonderful. And then I look down. *hee hee* He is wearing sandles! "You aren't going to wear those are you?" He looks at me with a sheepish grin and then grabs his runners.

Off we go. We are dressed and respectable.

And then as we get downtown I realize that *I* am the one with the wrong shoes with my outfit! We both bust a gut that I should be the odd one after all my 'so careful interview dressing'! LOL!

We enjoy our drive and we are in great humorous spirits, making jokes and just enjoying each others company. Like I said, we love to laugh.

I drove to Whitespot and pulled in and Ray hopped out of the van and as I turned to him my eyes opened wide. "RAY you have no SOCKS on!!!!" People must have thought we were nuts the way we kept laughing and giggling our way into the restaurant.

You can't dress them up and you can't take them out!! *grin*
