"Dork Vader?"

OK, sometimes my husband does/acts/says something that is just too good to pass up.  I stated when I started this blog that he probably would end up being the subject of many posts, and this was too funny not to document.

So we are organizing things (again) and down in the storage room, in my "sewing room" (not really--I have a corner--the rest is full of Brent's various possessions--like a wall of snowmobile helmets and boots, thousands of CD's, a computer graveyard, and who knows what else) there are several unidentified boxes.  I'm down sewing one night and he comes in and starts rummaging around.  Before I know it, he has pulled out these boxes, and guess what?  Inside is a whole dirt bike racer outfit!  I guess we own a little dirt bike that Brent has rode all of about 2 times, but as "aannyyoonnee" knows (catch the sarcasm) you can't really ride a dirt bike unless you have ALL the right equipment, right?  So he gets dressed up in his cute little outfit that probably costs more than the motorcycle did, and starts walking around the house!

I told him he looked like "Dork Vader."  I mean, come on, how cool can you be with gnarly looking boots and shirt, but with a blue tooth stuck to your head, your bifocals on, and clutching some nerdy electronic component!!  AND, he just so happened to be be watching "Dual Survivorship" with Cody and Dave traversing some tropical jungle, secretly wishing he could do that.  I didn't get a picture in the whole outfit, but he has a coat, gloves, and helmet too. . . but of course!  How silly of me! 

You know what girls? 
Big boys are just little boys who don't want to grow up!
They all will relate to this story somehow and have a
 "I wanna have a dirt bike rider (or whatever it may be) outfit."

So, the next time I feel guilty for wanting a cute pair of shoes or a few accessories for an outfit 

I will wear all the time,

 I'm going to fondly remember Brent as my lovable "Dork Vader"

 and just go ahead and buy them.  

P.S.  HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!
