Jake's Sarong

I was helping Jake tie on his sarong yesterday morning. It had been worn as a cape the night before.

You know, he said to me, army guys wear these.

They do?

Yeah, not our army guys but some army guys do…

Very interesting.

Jake came home from his trip with Walter to Florida with a sarong. It’s what guys wear when they’re hanging out, he told me. You know, after going to the pool. You put on your sarong and relax.

Um… okay.

It’s a guy thing, he assured me.

This is why I sought out men to have in my children’s lives. Barbershops, spitting and pocket pool, I knew were guy things. I never knew about sarongs.
