…he wears Garden Gloves to keep his hands warm in the winter.
True story: We were riding the subway into D.C. recently when I noticed Greg was wearing his garden gloves on a trip to the museum. I noticed it because when I went to hold his hand…I felt the little plastic nubs on the palm of the gloves.
Here is how the resulting conversation transpired:
Amanda: “GREG?! Why are you wearing Garden Gloves as winter gloves? she said, with jaw dropped, and a furrowed frustrated brow…
Greg: ”Why spend the money to buy new gloves when these work perfectly well?”.
Amanda: “Well, why spend hundreds of dollars on an HD-DVD player and walk around during winter wearing Garden Gloves for warmth?”
Greg: “That’s why I can buy an HD-DVD player, because I saved money by not buying the w$inter gloves and using my garden gloves.”
Does anyone else see the flaw in this line of thinking? Or do you think Greg has a point?
Please settle the argument…please!

Well, while I would be equally as annoyed that my husband was wearing garden gloves in public while not gardening, I must say he does have a point. However, the price of regular winter gloves VS the HD-DVD player would mean not buy 100′s of pairs of gloves to be able to get the DVD player. That part doesn’t make sense.

Men’s priorities are so weird. I have a 6′ 5″ husband. I had a queen size bed. Needless to say his feet hung off the bed and instead of buying bigger mattresses he opted for a 55″ plasma tv. After being married for a little over a year he finally gave in to buying a bigger bed.
