Dear Anita, My wife says that my clothes are too old and that it’s time for me to go shopping to buy
new clothes. Anita, it’s true that my shoes, shirts and jeans are almost 20 years old, but I like them – they
feel comfortable! Also, I just don’t like to go shopping for clothes. It takes a long time to find clothes that I
like, and I don’t like fitting rooms – they’re too small. Should I go shopping with my wife to buy new
clothes, or should I stay at home and watch TV in my old clothes?
George
Dear Anita, Hi Anita! I love to read your advice columns. I read them every week. Maybe you can
help me – my husband’s birthday is next week, and I want him to buy some new clothes for himself (he
loves to wear his old clothes, but it’s time to buy some new clothes). Also, I want to give him a new necktie
… or should I buy a new bowtie for him (I can’t ask him because I want to surprise him)? I can’t decide.
What do you think?
Mary
Dear Anita, Hey, Anita! I’m 7 years old and I have a pet cat. His name is Fluffy. Sometimes I put clothes on
Fluffy – my friends like it when I put a red cap and a yellow scarf on him! But my mother gets angry when I
do this. Anita, why does my mother get angry? How can I make her change her mind and let me put more
clothes on Fluffy? What’s your opinion about this?
