A Battle of Wills #Ao-Bura Literature Club My Son's Shirt👔
Good morning☺️
Please support the "#Ao-Bura Literature Club"🙌
A battle of wills with my son that has lasted for decades😓
The battle of wills where I want to convey my way of life through a single shirt seems like it might end with my chubbiness...
I wonder, how many decades old is this shirt?😮
It's from back when my eldest son was a bachelor.
You know, these are difficult to make😥
Back in those days, my son spent his entire salary—after putting aside money for living expenses—on "pachinko and clothes"...
Every time I wear this shirt, I remember those distant days😅
He drove a nice car and pretended to be cool, but when he got a girlfriend and it was time to get married💒, he had zero savings. Starting from debt... I couldn't believe it🙄
He would buy up clothes from a brand called "Men's Melrose," and then say "I don't wear these anymore" and
easily give them away to people, spending money like water... as if it were gushing out from somewhere... (I thought at the time, what a foolish son he was)
I even carefully kept the massive amount of paper bags🛍️ from when he bought those clothes back then😅
Because they are sturdy and large, I just can't throw them away.
I still wear this altered shirt even now🤣
Even though I've told him many times, "I'm still wearing that shirt from back then," my son just smirks...
However, lately I've become a bit plump, and it's getting tight around the chest...
There's little seam allowance in the bust size, so I can't make it any wider😅
Back when he was thin, my son's bust size was exactly the same as mine, but...
The arm lengths are completely different, so I removed the cuffs, cut them, reattached them, and have been wearing it for over 10 years. I wonder why my son is so stingy?😅 I think, how did he not take after me in that regard?😄
and reattached the cuffs again😄
How many decades have I been wearing this?🤣
Good clothes last for years, don't they?
I know that.
I've been making clothes for a long time. I can tell good tailoring when I see it.
Besides, I have a personality where I can't stand just throwing things away easily when I get bored of them~🤔
It's still wearable, and I can't throw it away, so I find myself thinking, maybe I'll wear it again when I lose weight?...
Even though I'm at an age where it's becoming hard to lose weight even if I diet😬
My son has a family now and children of his own, and he's started bringing his family's alterations to me, so perhaps mybattle of wills...with my son is nearing its end🙄
The End
