And Opal will point it out if they don’t notice the label.

Like Earl wouldn’t do the same thing?

Yes, Earl, your secret’s safe with us.

“Small” pants have gotten larger while airline seats have gotten narrower.

Years ago I went on a fitness challenge and lost weight and gained muscle tone. Found a pair of jeans in the closet that I hadn’t been able to fit in and tried them on, they actually fit! I nonchalantly looked over at my wife and asked, “Do these jeans make my butt look big?” She tried to hit me! Tru story!

If she new she was a large, why did she even take a small to the dressing room to begin with

Mislabeled as size small, more likely.

Neiman Marcus would put the tags on mink stoles on upside down, so that when draped over a chair, it would read upright and say Neiman Marcus.

I bought 4 pairs of pants at Walmart, all the same size. I took back 3…the clerk noticed and said one fit?

Kind of like grade inflation but backward?

Try finding ( pre Amazon ) a size 0 Dockers !

This reminds me of the Seinfeld episode in which Jerry brags that he has been wearing the same size 31 jeans since college. George then tells Susan that Jerry has worn size 32 for a while, but has been changing the tag on the back of all his jeans to read 31.

Lane Bryant gets another loyal customer.

Small or short?

We all have different ways of bragging, Earl!

Inflated sizing is an actual thing in clothing.

the S isn’t for small – it’s for stupid

Small…..in the PLUS SIZE section ;-D

Enjoy it while it lasts, Opal!

I just love the Roscoe in todays cartoon : )

S is the new XL.

Reminds me of the wife who returns from the doctor and tells her husband that she had a great check up. The doctor even told me I had the boobs of a twenty year old. “Oh yeah, and what did he say about your 40 year old a@#ss”. She replied, “You know, your name didn’t come up at all.”

hopefully no one will mistake her for something for sale. :D

Sometimes I notice labels on my buddies’ Levi’s, and I’m glad to see their waist sizes are larger than mine. (But I’m catching up!)

Plus-sizes – a Small is about a 14.

Yesterday’s large today’s small

Well duh Opal, you bought them at the Hippos R Us store.

It could be S for Substantial.

Back in the olden days, if you were an extra large boy you wore “Husky” size pants and girls extra large dresses were size “Chubby”.

In the US, large is the new small

I’ve gone from a 1X to an extra-large. Now I can’t wait to make it to large.

He tells Roscoe…….

Many ageing women go from morbidly obese to morbidly skinny. Or, from more to love to little to love. Yup.

Looks like Roscoe agrees.

Probably miss labeled small but actually large.

You can not depend on the size you normally wear to be the one on the pants you find that fit. Seems like every company has their very own size charts

I can’t believe Opal isn’t wearing her “signature” lavender print!

In what UNIVERSE are those SMALL..??????

Those look more like….. “Extra Medium”

No silly! Its SM for Super Mungo"

that spandex is amazing stuff, ain’t it??

Take it from the Preacher, Chapter 1, verse 2.

Why not? I would.

She went to the Big & Tall Womens shop, where small is – you know…

Wait til they shrink….more

I can see a business man with dollar signs in his eyes who buys plus sized clothing, intentionally puts “small” size tags on them and jacks up the price for a tidy profit. They’ll be flying off the shelves!

“Start spreading the news

I’m wearing a small today

I want to let everyone know

The tag ain’t going away…"

Small XL?

good for you, Opal

She could really be a small size, it’s just her butt is swollen for some reason.

Mislabeled, obviously.
