lol, she bought me some
I think I was very tactful when I thanked her for the pajamas, said that I would wear them at home, but explained that while on vacation it would be more practical to sleep in something that could double as an extra outfit in a pinch. So we compromised: I will wear my old yoga pants with a NEW t-shirt that she bought for me. Also, the pajamas she bought were a size too small, which I did not mention to her because
I can either take as a compliment that I don't look my actual size, or an insult because she thinks it's the size that I should be (we have had that argument in the past so it's a touchy subject for us). I
could wear them but I'd look like 10 pounds of potatoes in a 5 pound sack and I need to lose a size anyway so I'll stick them in the closet and wear them when I do.
Wish me luck on my trip? I need it, my mom and I butt heads about this kind of thing a lot. It's going to take all my resources of tact and diplomacy to get through this trip without a fight. Close proximity strains our relationship, we do best when we are not physically near each other!
