Definition of "A Bummer"

I was going to entitle this "Definition of Depression", but in light of the current economic crises touching the lives of most Americans today, it just didn't hold up. Nevertheless, I have defined "A Bummer".

"A Bummer" is when you order a pair of shorts off of E-Bay and they end up being a good size, maybe two, too large. You decide you don't want your blind purchase to go to waste, so you wear the too large shorts while you paint your kitchen green. The shorts are white, and you don't mind the occasional drip and eventually wiped finger marks on your shorts because, well, they are just way too big, and you'll never wear them outside of your house. The bummer grows when a year and a half passes and all of a sudden, the white, too large shorts are the only thing in your drawer or closet that fits. This, in and of itself, is "A Bummer."

It gets worse...It's smack dab in the middle of February. Despite the mild South Texas winters, it still just doesn't feel right to wear white in the middle of winter.

So today I am committing a major fashion fau pas that really lends itself to showing off the lovely shade of jade that I painted my kitchen, two sizes larger than what I really want to be. THAT is "A Bummer."
