If felt good.

[Maria 60]

Sometimes when there is a conversation about women's items I kind of shy away of not comment, almost like I don't want anyone to make a connection with me and my dressing.
During the week I ordered toe rings that came in a bag of twelve. I was on the couch viewing them and I guess as I was putting them back in the bag one of them slipped out. Of course my daughter was over yesterday and she finds this toe ring on the couch and asks my wife about it. My wife tells her that her fathers always leaving his stuff around. My wife notices her Opps and the next comment from my daughter is "since when is dad been wearing toe rings". I overheard the conversation from the kitchen and I walked in and instead of hiding or correcting my wife I told my daughter that I'm 61 years old and if I want to wear a toe ring is there a problem with that? She kind of looked up at me and put her hands in front of her and told me she didn't see a problem with that and do whatever I want. She then turned to my wife and just started a conversation about something else almost like we never had our conversation. Wow that really felt good, I should try this more often. Maybe I should leave a pair of pantyhose out and I wonder if it would go that well.

Small jewelry like that is one thing. Besides, it's now common for men to have one or a pair of earrings.

Pantyhose I think would be an "entirely" different kettle of fish.

Best to just dream and leave it at that.

I like this comeback! I'm going to remember it should I ever need it!

My best friend asked me why I wore a toe ring. I said "why not?"

And that was the entire conversation.

The people who love you will accept you as your wife has

Why don't u just tell your adult children? I did with my two girls. For one, Sherry's a big nothing!:battingeyelashes:

For the younger one, she just doesn't want to see me dressed!:doh:

Hi Maria :hugs:, That was just so Awesome,

[Crissy 107]

I would say that was an excellent example of thinking on your feet

Maria, your post reminds me of something I told my son many years ago. When he was 16 (1990), guys were just starting to wear earrings. Being the macho dad I was, I told him I couldn't prevent him from wearing earrings, but if he ever wore them in the house I would remove them with one quick yank. OUCH!!! Obviously, my attitude on that has changed by 180?. I often wonder what he would say if he met Heather. I don't expect to find out.

Gave me a smile reading your post! I have bangles in the credenza in the living room that have been there since my last outing with my wife and kids have never thought twice about them being in there
