Little Green Dress

I just bought this little green dress
Put it on and its a mess
Now its plain to see
Its not meant for me
Ill take it back I guess

It was a size nine
My husband said it looked fine
He didn't want to be mean
I wear size sixteen
He was drinking at the time

This is so true in so many ways. A child once brought me a wild dress saying "my mom says you will wear anything". It was a size 2. I wear a size 14. Ha!
