Don't I Look Great?

I was sitting here the other day thinking back to my sister in laws wedding. I remember that day clearly because a gentleman my husband worked with (he was a friend too) had passed away and his funeral was that same exact day. Boy that day was sure something.

After the funeral we stopped home to freshen up and we were going to go to a have a drink at a new restaurant by our house before going to the wedding. My husband pull out a set of cufflinks and a tie clip to put on. He comes out of the room and asks me to help him with the cufflinks and I look at the tie clip and was appalled. It was the uglied thing I had ever seen in my life.

"Where did you get that?" I asked.

"My Dad let me borrow it, I don't have any." he replied (we aren't very fancy people!)

I didn't say anything.. at first and then I finally asked "Are you really going to wear that?"

"Yes, why? Isn't it cool?" he added.

"No, it is the ugliest thing I have ever seen." I stated.

"It is from my dad's union, I like it and besides my dad is going to be pissed if I don't wear it now." he whined.

So I replied with "Okay, first of all we went out and bought you a really nice suit, mind you it wasn't cheap and that thing doesn't exactly go with the suit. Secondly, you don't work for the union so you don't need to wear it and thirdly, I am your wife, not your dad and that thing is ugly, if you dad liked it so much why isn't he wearing it?"

That was pretty much the end of the discussion! He took the hideous thing off his tie and we went on with our day.

I'll have to see if I can find it and post a picture
