Dear Anita,

My wife says that my clothes are too old and that it's time for me to go shopping to buy new clothes. Anita, it's true that my shoes, shirts and jeans are almost 20 years old, but I like them – they feel comfortable! Also, I just don't like to go shopping for clothes. It takes a long time to find clothes that I like, and I don't like fitting rooms – they're too small. Should I go shopping with my wife to buy new clothes, or should I stay at home and watch TV in my old clothes?

George.

Man: Hi young lady. How may I help you?

Girl: Well, . . . yeah. I'm looking for a Father's Day gift. How much is that black wallet?

Man: Oh. It's only $40.95.

Girl: Huh? That's too expensive for me. Do you have a cheaper one?

Man: Hmm. How about this brown leather one?

Girl: Umm. . . I don't think my father will like the design on the outside, and it doesn't have a place to put pictures. How much is it anyway?

Man: It's $25.99.

Girl: Humm. I don't have that much money. I have about ten dollars or so. I've been helping my mom around the house for the past week to earn some money. This is all I have.

Man: Hmm. How about this baseball cap?

Girl: That's real pretty, but the price tag says $13.99, and I don't have that much money.

Man: Well, the baseball cap went on sale. How about $5.00. What do you say?

Girl: Oh, thanks. I'll take it.
