Shrinking

Have you ever had that feeling you are growing, or is it your clothes are shrinking? You know when your trouser bottoms start creeping up to your knees, or your shirt sleeves start climbing up to your elbows, or your waistline begins to grow, but your belt hangs loose, or your chest is expanding because the buttons keep popping of your shirt. Oh yea, I know that feeling ever so well as it happens to me all the time just after my wife does the washing. She follows the instructions to the letter, but still they begin to shrink. Nothing is unshrinkable when she goes to wash, except once. There always has to be one exception. I had a nice towelin shirt and when she had finished with it, the shirt touched my knees and looked like I was wearing a skirt. Here I am six foot three, yet my clothes will fit someone three feet three and a lot thinner than me. Now I am at my wits end wondering just what to do. It feels like playing Russian roulette when the next wash begins. 31 January 2011
