  • Ryan vs. Tags


    Yesterday, Ryan decided that Clothing Shall Not Have Tags. This was not based on a sensory aversion, as you might have expected; this was an aesthetic choice. The issue is that Clothing Shall Not Have Writing Inside. 

    Suddenly, the underwear he's been wearing for a year is unacceptable because the laundering instructions are printed on the inside of the fabric (those "tagless tags" that can't possibly itch). Pants that he's worn a hundred times without issue are now untouchable because they have washing instructions attached. And when I offer to cut the tags out, Ryan has a fit: the clothes have already been tainted, so scissors won't help.

    Writing on the front of a shirt seems to be perfectly acceptable. Sweatpants with a small logo are borderline. The tag in his jacket has not yet caused a problem. This is a developing story; as I figure out what the rules are, I'll keep you posted...
