Carol Perkins: Stay OUT Previous Column: Squirrel Soup By Carol Perkins "You need to stay out of my closet," Guy said as I took hangers of jeans from the back next to his Navy uniform and laid them on a card table, ignoring him. "You need to try on all these jeans and the ones you can't wear can go to someone who can wear them." To get out of trying them on, he insisted he could wear all of them. I knew better. "Just pamper me and try these on." There were sixteen pairs, and even though they were all "his size," none of them fit. "They're mis-sized," he declared. I couldn't resist. "All of them?" Even though I am guilty of keeping unworn clothes, Guy is worse because he doesn't know what he has that needs throwing away. "Where did that come from?" he asked as I held up sweater vests that were under a plastic bag in another closet, where he put them last winter. "I'll wear all of them next year. Don't throw them away." He wore two this winter, and claimed I either hid them or he didn't know he had them. (I don't like sweater vests!) My mission was to make room in his closet for the shirts that I iron (yes, I iron) so they don't wrinkle as they hang smashed against each other. When he puts one on, it is usually wrinkled down the front. I don't iron twice. The solution was to give them breathing room, and that required removing items he hadn't seen for years. If he says, "Where did that come from?" it's time. Tomorrow, if it's rainy the way it was today, I'll tackle my closet...again. You can contact Carol at carolperkins06@gmail.com.
