The three phases of life summed up in pants…, 1. Denim jeans, 2. Cargo pants, 3. Sweat pants. (I have been in phase 2 for quite some time, and hoping to stay there for the foreseeable future.)
Opal is two generations ago (my generation, okay?) when the Husband’s attire casts judgement upon the Wife. Usually by other women – big shock there, huh?
I wore sweatpants in my twenties, when I was quite thin. They feel good and keep you warm and don’t show that you’re menstruating. Some people are less worried what snobs think of them, I guess.
If they are good enough for Ralph Drabble they are good enough for Earl. If I have to put on real pants I strongly consider if it’s a place I really want to go.
Not sure how people wear sweatpants. I literally sweat in them even in the middle of winter. And we get temperatures that hover around 0° frequently from January to March.

Because Opal is some kind of fashion example?

Stretch in any direction is only an advantage if you are flexible.

I wore them quite a bit after my hand surgeries since I couldn’t button or unbutton my jeans. Fortunately I can now manage it.

Why does she care what he wears around the house? It’s not like he’s going to be embarrassing her at home.

Earl can always count on Opal for support and understanding. Usually, it comes in the form of criticism and insults.

You’re retired. Wear what feels right. But I’d try to please Opal at least a little!

Way better than pajama pants (which I’ll never understand).

Oh got Pete’s sake Opal! Give Earl some slack (get it!) and let him be comfortable in his “sweats”.

I started wearing sweat pants during lockdown because it didn’t matter what I wore around the house. Still haven’t gone back to jeans.

Opal needs to remember: if you don’t have anything nice to say,don’t say anything at all…..she’s from the generation that would’ve been taught that…….

I wear them all the time unless I’m going somewhere I may need to use the rest the restroom. Not having a fly means I use the sit-down stall.
