Me: “Look, I wrapped a scarf around my plushie in a way that makes her look like she’s wearing a dress!”
Spouse: *reminds me that I’m now 40*
This is how to be 40. Play with stuffed animals. They’re fun and cuddly and look good wearing scarves.
Also, bracelets make great plushie necklaces. Especially for giraffes.
Final note: my spouse wasn’t disapproving of the way I choose to be 40, just pointing out the amusing contrast with societal expectations.
We both know societal expectations are silly.
