Predictable, Yet Unstoppable

A few months ago, I wrote about these convertible harem pants that I really wanted, and in December, when my mom and baby brother-in-law, “Yousi,” came to visit, Yousi brought some presents with him courtesy of his and The Boss’s mama. I had just gotten home from a pretty intense workout with my physical therapist, when Yousi pulled something out of his suitcase, and goes, “My mom sent this for you.” You Guys! It was the EXACT convertible harem (but in gray) that I had seen at Anthropologie a few months earlier, but from a store in Egypt that MIL swung into while she was visiting her daughter who lives there. I was so excited about my new gift that I held it up to show everyone when my mom goes, “Those look like the pants that MC Hammer used to wear!”

And that’s all it took. The Boss, Yousi and I made eye contact, and the next thing you know, this happened.

P.S. If you listen closely, you can hear my mom ~~scolding~~ gently encouraging me to stop “behaving like a maniac,” though her encouraging words are being drowned out by Yousi’s laughter, which is awesome.

P.P.S. Yousi shared this video (taken with his phone) with his parents when he returned home, and they liked it so much, MIL called me to say she was going to get me another pair in black.

I’ve already started choreographing my next dance.
