Signs That I'm Getting Old
Remember the episode of "Seinfeld" when Jerry's secret gets out? (Ok, that's like saying "Remember the episode of Three's Company when there was a big misunderstanding?").
Anyway, I'm talking about "The Sponge," the episode where George reveals that Jerry changes the label on all his pairs of jeans to make people think he wears a 31 instead of a 33 waist. Today, I realized, I'm turning into Jerry.
See, my pants size varies depending on brand name, style, etc. If I try on a pair of Tommy Hilfiger jeans (not that I can afford them), I have to try on a pair of size 12, and even then, I have to suck it all in to zip them up. But if I try on a pair of jeans at Lerner, I can wear a size 6 and have wiggle room to spare.
Needless to say, I buy all my jeans at Lerner now, just so I can feel better about myself. Shallow? You betcha. I should add that in high school, I wore a size 6, and I weighed at least 20 pounds less than I do now.
