Measure this!

“What are your sizes?” she asked

“For shirts- large” I replied

the conversation strayed and then returned

“So, what are your sizes?” she asked again

"For shirts – large" I replied again

the conversation strayed again

"Large for shirts..." she said

"34 for pants"

"Are you sure *my son* is a thirty four"

"That’s what I wear"

"Are you sure?"

"Yes!"

"What about shirts?" I know what she means, she means other than large.

"16 at the neck..."

"*my son* is sixteen and a half. Are you sure?"

"Gee, I don’t know let me ask my Mom" There was this pause and I didn't know if she wasn't enjoying the joke or that she thought that possibly that my Mom bought my clothes so I added:

"You know what a clothes horse I am, I know my sizes."

"16 and what"

"32/33"

"Inseam" we like jumping around with the questions.

"30"

"Really?"

"Yeah, I like them to kinda gather at the ankle"

"How tall are you?"

"five eight"

"Not any longer like 31 or 32?"

"No!"

"Have you been sized?"

"I bought a suit recently"

"Where?"

"At *my normal suit store*"

"And they gave you the sizes?"

"..No" she caught me

"We need to meet for lunch. I know some people at *a different suit place* who will size you"

"Okay" I chose o.k. because if I said 'whatever' there would have been trouble, possibly.
