One of the best things about my husband is that he is a man of his word. One of the second best things is that he can readily admit when he is wrong.
Both of these tremendous qualities recently led to my acquisition of my newest most prized possession. Remember how I told you I wanted these?
The conversation went like this. We were talking about the kids’ Halloween costumes, Mary Poppins and Bert the chimney sweep:
“Dick Van Dyke was awesome in that movie, even if he did have an awful accent.”
“He was great in everything. Did you know he was the Scarecrow in The Wizard of OZ?”
“No. He wasn’t.”
“Yes, he was. I swear. Wanna bet?”
“I actually do want to bet because I’m 10,000% sure that there is no way that Dick Van Dyke was in the Wizard of Oz. That movie was filmed in the 30’s. He was probably a toddler.”
“He was too. He was the Scarecrow. Look it up right now. What are you willing to bet?”
“I’m right about this, so it doesn’t even matter, but fine. If you win [use your imagination to insert rated R option here] What if I win?”
“You’re not going to win, but if you are right then I’ll drive to Target right now (9:15pm) and buy you those stupid footie pajamas.”
And he did.
P.S. An actor named Ray Bolger played the Scarecrow.

I bought those exact pajamas last week (husband out of town, furnace broken, why not?) and I love them! It cracks up my 3yo that my pajamas have feet, like his…
Aren’t they awesome? Now I want a collection. The sock monkey ones are next on my list. 🙂
Wow, I never thought about how good Dick Van Dyke could have been as the Scarecrow but I thought everyone know he wasn’t in that movie! Those pajamas are HYSTERICAL. But, due to my constant need to go to the bathroom at least once per night, I could never enjoy wearing them. That was the thing I hated about footie pajamas when I was little. It was so cold when you had to unzip them to go to the bathroom!
I actually don’t wear them all night. I sleep in a tank top because I get really hot while I’m sleeping, I use these instead of a robe. 🙂
omg, those pjs are the best! also, you are awesome you can pull them off. i don’t think i could!
I lub you! LoL
