Welcome to Back to School week here at The Dose of Reality! Other than Christmas, is there any busier time of the year than back to school season? We know that everyone is feeling as stressed and overwhelmed as we are (seriously, between the buying and labeling of the school supplies, we are pretty sure we have a permanent case of hand claw), so we are bringing you a “Best Of” week here at the blog—back to school style! Comments are closed, but feel free to come hang out with us on Facebook where we can share all our best tips for survival together!
Was this post inspired by a search term on the blog?
Perhaps.
Lisa: Oh. My. God. Someone just found our blog by typing “husband wearing meggings”. I can’t even make that up.
Ashley: BWAH HA HA HA! That is so awesome in every way.
Lisa: You just have to wonder what sort of desperation would lead a poor woman to search that. Was it a wife looking to find out if her man is fashion forward?
Ashley: I think she wants to know if meggings are legal grounds for divorce!
Lisa: Can you even imagine if your Robert busted out some meggings?
Ashley: Honestly, no. The only thing that might be worse is if he decided to start sporting a Nubrella.
Lisa: GAH! I can’t even decide which would be more humiliating…to me!
Ashley: WAIT JUST A MINUTE! I have got the next Would You Rather scenario. This is PERFECT. Meggings vs. Nubrella.
Okay, y’all, so we know school is getting ready to start all across the country in a matter of days/weeks. Everyone knows that with the start of school comes Parent’s Night (Open House) in the classroom. An evening where everyone scrambles to find childcare and rushes off to hear all about what their children will be learning that year, while throwing in a little mixing and mingling among other parents and the teachers. Add in a few sign-up sheets for classroom events, and you have yourself an evening of elbowing your way to the front so you can secure the paper good sign-ups fun!
More often than not, my hubby has to meet me at these events straight from work, which got me thinking about this scenario:
It is Parent’s Night. You arrive at your child’s classroom and wait for your mate to rush in at the last minute claiming that he forgot it was Open House and spent too much time updating his fantasy football team had a conference call that ran late. You look up as he makes his way in the door to see that he is wearing meggings.
Meggings.

To meet your child’s teacher for the first time.
To be among classroom parents, perhaps many you don’t even know yet.
OR
You are waiting outside the classroom, tapping your foot impatiently and constantly checking your phone to see if he has texted to say that he is parking and will be there any second. You happen to glance up and see a man walking toward you wearing some sort of contraption on his head. And then you realize. That is your husband. Wearing a Nubrella on his head.
A Nubrella.

And it is not raining. He is just wearing it in case the weather turns. And this man is about to go and meet your child’s teacher. And chat it up with other parents. All the while wearing a Nubrella on his head.
So, which is it?
Would you rather have your husband show up to back to school night wearing meggings or with a nubrella on his head?
This might help you make up your mind…
You’re welcome, guys! 😀
