Dressing gowns

[Wongo]

MIL wanted to buy FIL a dressing gown.
I said dressing gowns are for girls. (Well I actually said a lot more than that. )
FIL agreed.
The wife wanted to know what my ww mates think.

Over to you…

I've got one. Nice and warm if you want to go to the loo in the middle of the night.

Bugger what people think, if it's good enough for Hef, then it's good enough for me.

I agree with pawnhead - a dressing gown is a great thing when the night is cold and the bog is at the other end of the house. Also measn that you can get to and from the bathroom in the morning for your shower without freezing and without having to take your clothes there(they always get damp and it slows up the use of the bathroom if you dress in there). Unless, of course, you are emitting lots of greenhouse gasses by keeping the house warm while you are sleeping for when you get up .....

Also, a dressing gown very nice to potter about the house in on a Saturday morning while you have a cup of coffee in the sun and read the newspaper (this is of course a reminisence of a prior life before children )

Nup, definitely for chicks and elderly hospital patients only.

Next you'll be wanting to know who wears pajamas

if it's good enough for Hef

Surely Hef, like me, would have an ensuite

Don’t you have a jumper, old pants, a pair of sock and a hot water bottle?

No electricity needed.


I am just glad that I have some influence in my FIL's life.

[Wongo]

Silent, do you wear pajamas?

To steal a line from The Goodies:

"What's worn under the quilt?"
"Nothing! It's all in perfect working order!"

Don't matter what we think.

Its all up to FIL

MIL is buying something that won't get used coz FIL don't like them

End of story

I've got two, but the're called "bath robes"
SWMBO usually wears one and has the second one hidden somewhere in "her" wardrobe.

those old enough may remember an add from the 80s where the bloke says to the woman beside him "how come my clothes always look better on you?"

it's the same with bath robes or dressing gowns.
the MIL wants a new one and will "gift" it your FIL to get one.

Jmk, do you go outside to collect the papers too.

Now pay attention. This is how a real man should wear around the house.

Actually there was one moment in my life when I might have wished for a dressing gown. I opened the front door to get the milk and it slammed shut on me. I had just gotten out of the shower and was dressed in a towel and a T-shirt. So there I was on Liverpool Street Darlinghurst at 8am dressed in a towel and a T-shirt. At 8pm it would have been acceptable, but anyway...

The only way back in was to walk (running not advisable in a bathroom kilt) half a block up Riley Street, then into the lane and climb over the wall at the back of the house.

Come to think of it, not that unusual a sight in Darlinghurst.

[Wongo]

Did anyone help you to climb over that wall?

[silentC]

There's no way I would have accepted help from anybody lurking in a back lane in Darling It Hurts, mate

[Wongo]

Just one more question for those who owns a dressing gown.

Do you have “HIS” or “The world best woodworker” stitched in the front?

Now listen here Wongo:

I own a dressing gown.

There is a distinct difference between owning one and wearing one though.

I saw my dressing gown being worn this morning actually. There was I suitably attired in a not dissimilar manner to the photograph above, when my beloved was heard to remark to no-one in particular, but I assumed because I am the only other person in the house that she meant me to hear;

"It's definitely a two dressing gown morning"

Then I noticed that she had my "big" blue one over the top of her red girly one. So that's why I need one, and probably so does your FIL!

Cheers,
