Dear Ms. Parker,
I recently stumbled upon an interview where you stated, “sweatpants are the leading cause of divorce.” I must admit, I was heartbroken. It felt like a premonition that my own divorce paperwork was imminent. After all, I live in sweatpants, stretchy leggings, and yoga pants about, let’s say, 9 days a week.
Taking a moment to reflect on your statement, I realized that if I were in your shoes—having a dashing partner like Max Anderson, financial security, and the luxury of privacy during my pregnancy—I might not wear sweatpants either. In fact, I’d probably rock gold pants. Scratch that; I’d go pantless altogether.
Oh, Jamie, you’re amusing. Here’s why this (potentially soon-to-be-divorced) woman continues to embrace her stretchy attire:
- Comfort Above All: Sweatpants are incredibly comfortable, allowing me to forgo underwear. Anything that reduces my laundry load is a win in my book. With a little one who changes outfits 19 times a day, I savor every opportunity to lighten my laundry burden. So, stretchy pants it is!
- Leg Hair Cover-Up: If I were with someone like Max, I might consider shaving my legs more frequently. But since he chose you, I’ve opted for a couple of shaves a month instead. Sweatpants expertly conceal my less-than-perfect grooming habits, creating a perfect barrier against the “Amazon Jungle” that may be growing beneath.
- Forgiving Fit: I can’t afford a personal trainer to keep my muffin top in check. And honestly, if I could, I’d probably still avoid the gym. There’s something about sweating that just doesn’t appeal to me. Sweatpants fit like a dream, no matter how many carbs I indulge in. The other night, I devoured what felt like a newborn baby’s weight in corned beef and sauerkraut, and my sweats welcomed me with open arms. We cozied up in bed, watching your man, Max, in a classic romance movie—it was blissful.
- A Touch of Controversy: Lately, the debate over yoga pants and sweatpants has been heating up. I thrive on a little scandal and revel in being part of it. Donning yoga pants makes me feel like a true rebel—like a modern Bonnie Parker. Give me a hidden pistol in my baggy pants, and I’d be ready to take on the world.
- Keeping Men at Bay: Interestingly, I’ve noticed that when I wear anything other than my comfy sweats, men seem to gravitate towards me. I’m not sure if it’s my hairy legs or the aroma of donuts and fast food wafting from me, but sweatpants create a protective barrier, keeping the attention at arm’s length. I wouldn’t want to make my husband uncomfortable, so I stick to my trusty stretchy pants.
But now, the declaration that sweatpants lead to divorce? Oh no! I’m doomed!
Here I am, lounging in my favorite stretchy pants, bracing for the dreaded arrival of my divorce paperwork. It could arrive any moment now…
