“No.”

“Why not?”

“I don’t like them.”

“Why not?!”

“They’re uncomfortable.”

“You haven’t even tried them on yet!”

“I can see perfectly well that they will be extraordinarily uncomfortable.”

“How can you possibly tell?”

“How can you possibly tell that ‘that skirt will make you look fat’? Surely if we follow your preferred system of trial and error you would need to try on every single skirt in the store before you would know for certain whether or not they would make you look robust, or obese, or emaciated.”

“…Honey, what about these ones?”

“Penny, I thought I had made my feelings on Velcro perfectly clear. If I can barely distinguish it as a revolutionary scientific discovery as it is so often lauded as, you can hardly expect me to put it on my feet every day ( ... )

"And lights on shoes are both impractical and dangerous; it would make it only that much easier for an arch-enemy or a pack of hungry dogs or the FBI to track you in the dark if every step you take illuminates your feet like a neon ‘kick me’ sign.”

Well done, my dear! ♥

Hee, thanks hon! :D I think S/P shopping together is one of my favourite things in the history of the world ever :D

(I wrote another drabble on the prompt 'points of data make a beautiful line', but it's hideously over the character limit. Le sigh. I'll post it at sheldon_penny later on :P)

You can still always post as much as will fit (or maybe a small 'teaser' portion) and then link us to the rest! :)
