Good for you! Congratulations on your first time.

Brave doesn't even cover it. My first time will forever be tainted by the fact that I had to stand watching while my wife decided which 'pads' to buy this month! The only thing that could have been slightly worse when feeling a little self-conscious whilst kilted in Nascar country would have been if she'd been shopping for lingerie 
Ooops, best not let her read that!

Consider that your wife could have sent you out kilted by youself to buy those damned things (the confused look on the checkout girl would have been som compensation though). Congrats, now do it more often.

One day during our summer holidays last year in Switzerland close to the Italian border I had been doing some shopping with my wife – I wearing shorts. Somewhere she had tried on a skirt. Having come back to our apartment she regretted not having bought it and when I a couple of hours later was going into town – now kilted - she asked me if I would buy it for her. I knew the size, where it was etc.
The correct size had been sold out, it seemed but with help from a shop assistant I succeeded to get one. Handing it to me she gave me a second glance or perhaps two of them. Then she asked: “Are you sure about the size, sir?” And with a quick turn of her head she pointed to the fitting rooms.
Obviously her trained eye had told her that it might be on the small side for me to wear.
“I am”, I answered. “My wife has tried it on less than three hours ago, and she hasn’t gained or lost weight that much that it won’t fit her anymore.”
“O but fine”, she answered and looked delighted. “Card or cash, sir?”
Could it be because of my kilt? Or is it that men simply don’t buy skirts, not even for their wives? Or especially not for their wives?
I found the episode rather amusing.

Lol, I used to know so many little lines like that (the Fishmonger's daughter springs to mind) but unfortunately none of them are suitable for this forum!
