Have you ever had a clothing mishap that left you scratching your head in confusion? Well, Dale attended choir rehearsal in his beloved jeans and emerged with the beginnings of distressed denim. Attempting to extract the details from him was amusing, and no, I didn’t unravel the mystery.

As I dropped Dale off for his Urban Nation Choir rehearsal, he was sporting his cherished jeans, straight from the dryer and all. However, when he came out, he was sporting what appeared to be the trendy distressed denim, a style usually embraced by fashion-forward individuals but, if you know Dale then you know he is not one for the masses. He appreciates styles like that on others but respectfully maintains that it’s not for him.

I couldn’t help but burst out laughing when I saw him, knowing full well that he would never willingly wear distressed denim without more pushback that the time he was out of my sight would have allowed. After the work day I had, trust me, this laugh was definitely warranted and appreciated.

Here’s the kicker – Dale had no idea how his jeans got ripped. He’s adamant that they were perfectly intact when he left the house, which they were, and he’s completely baffled as to how they ended up in the state they were in. Let me point out, it’s only the beginning of the distressed look because it’s a small area, but either way, I know my child wouldn’t wear them.

I find myself chuckling as I write, picturing Dale attempting to unravel the events behind the distressed denim jeans. I suggested various scenarios—perhaps a snag turned into a rip from a sharp-edged table or keys initiating a tear from the inside. The possibilities are endless, and with each suggestion, he simply shook his head in amusement wondering “why is she laughing at my pain.”

I decided to give it a rest as he was far from amused with my uncontrollable laughter. Just to get me to leave him alone, he was gracious enough to pose for a pic noting “I guess you going to blog this, huh?” He shrugged his shoulders, smiled, and posed. After the photo I decided not to press my luck by asking the fate of the jeans so I’ll just wait and see. 😂😂
