What is the first thing that most people do when they come
home from work?
They put on something super comfy. Yoga pants, sweats, pajamas.
Well, I work from home, run errands to fancy places like
Wal-Mart, drop off and pick up the kids from school, and other non-dressy
activities.
For me, life is about comfort and being happy.
My family makes me happy.
My friends make me happy. And
when I look down at whatever funky pajama bottoms I am wearing that day that
makes me happy.
At Christmas time, I dropped the kids off at school and
remembered I had to pick up a package at FedEx.
I looked down and was wearing my reindeer pajama bottoms. When I left the house that morning it was
supposed to be drop off the kids, swing by Mickey Dees for my necessary start
to the day, a large Coke, and head home.
Oh well, I had to get the package.
On the way home I decided that since it was Christmas time I
would wear my Christmas pajamas every day to encourage folks to get into the
holiday spirit.
A couple days later I went into the grocery store and one of
the produce guys told me he liked my pajamas.
I thanked him and told him I was wearing it for the holidays. He said the most amazing thing to me.
Produce Guy: You know
you can wear pajama bottoms all year?
Me: Really?
Produce Guy: Yes. Do you know why?
Me: No. Why?
Produce Guy: Because
YOU CAN!
Holy shit, he’s right.
I CAN wear them and I WILL wear them.
