Glitter Is the Herpes of the Craft World

Sunday afternoon I texted Tata a West Side Story question. She responded with a phone call that led us to meet at Home Depot to look at paint colors. I'm doing the master bedroom next and I think we all can agree that I need help picking out a color. Help that doesn't involve Curtis.

We left Home Depot and somehow ended up at Old Navy because somehow we always end up at Old Navy. At Old Navy, I spotted a gray long sleeved T-shirt that had 'I've been naughty' printed on it in red glitter. It was fabulous and totally Tata. As a matter of fact, I said 'Wow! This shirt is totally you!' and she agreed.

Sitting next to the 'I've been naughty' shirts were navy blue long sleeved T-shirts that had 'I've been nice' printed on them in green glitter. In other words, totally me.

Me: You should get 'I've been naughty' and I'll get 'I've been nice' and we will run the risk of looking like total dorks by wearing them on Black Friday.

Tata: Oooo, we should. But what about Banana?

Me: Good point. Let's all get matching 'I've been naughty' shirts.

Tata: Yeah, because I could never pull off 'I've been nice'.

I texted Banana to see what size shirt from Old Navy she wears. She just texted me her shirt size, no questions asked. This is why I love Banana. She doesn't immediately get suspicious, narrow her eyes, and ask why I want to know something. She just answers my question and goes on about her business.

As Tata and I were standing in line at the cash register, I noticed that the red glitter was all over my sweater. And my jeans. And inside my purse. And all down one sleeve of the lovely grey suede pea coat that I was also buying. The I've been naughty glitter was being rather … naughty.

Me: Sigh. I really hate glitter sometimes. It gets all over everything.

Tata: You know, glitter really is the herpes of the craft world.

Truer words had never before been spoken inside an Old Navy. Pin It Now!
