Perfectly acceptable reasons to hoard

Perfectly acceptable reasons to hoard

Reasons to hang on to whatever the hell is in your closet, just like Auntie Gladys did.

  1. It is only slightly too small in a relative way

  2. You saw the matching one just the other day or week

  3. You are a strong woman, with bandaids, and you can work them in

  4. It’s perfect for poorly-lit situations, such as twilight and dawn

  5. You will find the courage to wear it during the next power outage or total eclipse of the sun, whichever comes first

  6. You don’t need a reason!

  7. An occasion will come, possibly within the decade, for which it is perfectly apropos

  8. It’s hand-knit

  9. You cannot possibly give it away due to its initial, life-altering expense

  10. It would make a nice nightie

#5 / Hang on to your hat, and everything else, too!
