Moron this later Update

Ok, so i said I was going to talk about this later and I guess this is later enough already.

My specialist E-4 came home one day and said there would be a Class A inspection the next day and would I sew the unit patch on the the sleeve of his class A jacket?
Sure, no problem honey. I'm good at that sort of thing and a bit anal about that kind of stuff.

Well it was a little more difficult than I thought it would be. Getting the needle and thread thru the lining and jacket and then through the thick patch. I managed and soon had the patch sewn on in the correct spot all lined up perfectly and my stitches so small you need a magnifying glass to see them.

So, off he goes to formation the next morning....everything on his uniform was perfect.......except the patch. It was inside out. Poor hubby was the joke of the day. Seems neither one of us noticed this. In my defense the patch appeared to be the same on both sides.

That's when hubby started taking his uniforms to the cleaners and paying them a small fee to sew on patches. To this day I wonder if I subconsciously did this just to get out of that particular chore?

And a very clever move if I do say so myself! I remember those days when my son was in the cadets, and the drycleaner was his savour also! LoL
