"Look How Clever I Am,"
I remark gleefully to my mother. "I got a bleach stain on my favorite black cords. See here, where it used to be? And I filled it in with a black marker. You can't even tell."
"Yup," she agrees. "It looks fine. Sometimes I have to do that, too."
I put the pants back in the drawer. "You know, theoretically, one shouldn't ever buy clothes that aren't either white or black."
"Don't be silly," she replies. "You can buy clothes that are in any color at all, so long as you have a pen in that same color."
It's not often that I have such a pure appreciation for my mother's genius.

ok if you have the pens, why not just always buy white pants and color em in as needed?

It might take a bit too long.

The correct pen should come with every article of clothing. Business idea, anyone? It will be bigger than Garranimals for adult males!

As far as I know, I thought of the Garranimals for men idea back in the early 80's...as a joke I'd often use to impress women. It didn't work. Your mom is welcome to go with the idea. I think "Hello Kitty" for adult women would work too. Subtle use of "Ms Kitty" on, say, silk lining for blazers for business wear--fine embroidery, too. Upscale jewelry. I better get out the Tanqueray now...and pop "Last Man Standing" in the DVD player...
