So my fiance recently decided that I should probably have a new coat, as the one I had been wearing was the same hand-me-down I have used since I was twelve. Apparently it's no good to wear clothing that's half my age.
Anyway, as an early birthday present, he gave me a new coat. It is very stylish and I immediately acknowledged that it's far more aesthetically pleasing than my old one. I stopped wearing the faded, ill-fitting coat of my past and started wearing the snazzy new one. And thus we lived happily ever after...for a few days.
The first sign of trouble was when one of the semi-functional buttons came off. "Hmm," I said, "My button seems to have come off. Ah well." And so I went on my way.
Fast forward another three weeks. I had lost two decorative, nonfunctional buttons, one semi-functional, and all the functional buttons. Buttoning up was no longer an option, which was a shame, as the weather has been stubbornly un-spring-like. One day I told this tale of woe to my boss, who surprised me with her generosity. She brought in a needle and thread and sewed all my buttons back on while I was working the next day. And thus we lived happily ever after.
Lousy Asian babies can't sew for nothing. Wage slavery? Ha! I say they overpaid.
ReplyDeleteWow, Jonathan. That's harsh. And hooray for awesome bosses! Your stylish, adorable coat is once more stylish and adorable! Three cheers for boss-lady!
ReplyDeleteJonathan,so even though you say they can't sew, you sill had her sew your button back on? Hypocrite!
