So I’m packing for my one-night business trip and I make the mistake of asking my adorable wife to help me pack.
As I’m packing my clothes she asks me if I packed an extra pair of pants.
Daddy Dan: “An extra pair for what? I’m only going to be gone for one day.”
Adorable Wife: “Well, what if you spill something on them and have to change?”
DD: “I’m not going to spill anything on them. What would I spill on them?”
AW: “Ok, just remember I told you.”
DD: “Ok, I’ll remember.”
I didn’t pack an extra pair of pants.
AW: “Did you pack a pair of shorts for tomorrow night?”
DD: ”Why shorts?”
AW: “What if the hotel catches on fire and you have to evacuate?”
To put her mind at ease and not have to worry about me standing outside in the middle of the night in my boxer briefs I packed a pair of shorts.
And if worse comes to worse I could always put them on if I spill something on my pants.
Women!!! =)

I can totally see the logic. If you’re anything like my hubby, food lands on his clothes as often as it does on the toddler’s.
If you need to evacuate, you can always go out Toga style with the sheets

I understand where she’s coming from lol. The one time you don’t have something extra to throw on when you’re away from home is the time you’ll spill something on yourself.

Actually, my husband is the over-packer, and I’m always the one freezing to death because I didn’t pack enough. Eh.
