but over the last couple of weeks, for two bat mitzvahs, i bought two nice shirts.

when i got back to my sister's last night, after a day out with my nephew, my brother -in-law proudly informed me that, unasked, he had washed both of these shirts.

well, i'd been planning to be careful with them but he didn't read the labels and, in effect, ruined them, eliminating the shine from one and likely shrinking the other into goofy-looking tightness.

i'd been so happy about my wardrobe expansion. i don't have the money to buy more stuff.

when i saw what he had done, i plunged into sadness.

thanks for the help.
