Who wants to go to the fabric store???

Hey all,

A funny thing happened a couple of days ago- Bruce and I had a million errands to do so we got a sitter to watch the older three for a couple of hours. One thing high on Eric's list (and low on mine) was new PJ pants, mandating a trip to the fabric store -- you know how the boys all feel about that sort of thing. Well, we got there and looked around a little bit and I held up a couple of choices & BRUCE found better fabric (army tanks and weapons and jeeps, etc) !!! Then, I was at the cutting table- ready to go, and I had to LOOK for Bruce (he was still walking up and down the rows of material) so I told him "Come on! I just can't get you out of here!" Oh man, talk about turning the tables! He looked all flustered that that really happened. Of course he was expecting that I would be longer than the actual 5 minutes that I promised, so he went into la-la land for awhile. Sure was funny though. Anyway, he says that Nathan is definately "not gay" because Nathan was fussy & not happy being in the fabric store and was "just fine" in all the other errands we did.

Man, what is it with guys and fabric stores, anyway??

Scott's like that with Roberts. We literally walk in and he says "When can we go?" Roberts and fabric stores must be like the kiss of death for our male counter parts. But I guess computer stores and other places like that are the same way for me.

I'll tell you all the problem, its not that its a fabric store, its just that mom or whoever always says we'll only be 5 minutes. Then 45 to 180 minutes later they find us bearly breathing, hiding in the bathroom to get away from the dazed and confused feeling we get from looking at all that fabric. Its like spencer telling me it'll only take him 5 minutes to find a toy with his 10 bucks grandma and grandpa gave him. Yeah right! you should have seen him go. At least the fabric stores have round fabric racks that us guys can hide in.

So Bruce, after all that searching up and down the isles, did you pick out some splendid material too? I bet Becky can make you a nice quilted brief case thingy that can hold all of your stethoscopes and tongue depressers and abscess poking gadgets!! Man, you are so lucky!! Ya know Jared and Bruce, I think all this complaining is just a front you need to put on so that the rest of the world won't know that you really are excited about fabric stores. C'mon, you have to admit, the bazillion cajillion types and prints are completely fascinating.

Actually, I'm allergic to fabric. Wait, you might be saying, you idiot you wear and use fabric every day. Actually all my clothes are made from woven sage grouse feathers. SO,,,,,,,,,when I have to walk inside a dang fabric store it is allergies and nothing else. It's amazing how awesome those sage grouse are! Geez, it's almost like you could use them for anything. Anyway, I can't stand the fabric store!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
