BPTSWFT

I am going to make a general statement in saying that in every relationship, there will be (at least) this one article of clothing The Other Half owns that you will absolutely loathe. I thought I found it the first time I saw him wear his brown Reef 65% cotton 35% polyester trucker/surfer/netted/baseball cap.

It turns out that I'm wrong. How so very wrong. The battle that I have been fighting in getting him to stop wearing that trucker/surfer/netted/baseball cap now feel misdirected when I saw his Blue Palm Treed Shirt With a Front Pocket (BPTSWFP).

It happened one day when we were looking for a t-shirt for me to wear out for supper cause my clothes don't provide enough 'coverage'. He pulled it out from the mess that is his closet, and flung it on the bed. "Nah, this one's nice," he proudly proclaimed. I spread it open, and immediately shook my head. It was an odd combination of a pale yet bright blue color, and the front pocket had palm trees in a tone lighter. It was hideous.

"But why not? It's so nice. Look, it has palm trees behind!"

Indeed it does. That same palm tree pattern was repeated all over on the back, like some nightmare you get when you try to tile a too-small-photo on your desktop as your wallpaper. It was some designer's revenge on Hawaii cause his vacation was ruined by the food-poisoning induced diarrhea he got when he consumed under-cooked fish. It was HIDEOUS.

And he loves it. He loves his BPTSWFP so much he almost wore it out for supper just now.
