Johns Speedo has become a link to his youth, a sort of security blanket if you will.

Although I guess a more accurate description, due to the shortage of material, would be a security napkin.

That brings me to my list of things I would make out of the Speedo for John so he could still have it around if he agreed to stop wearing it.



1.) A hat for his dog.

John loves his dog almost as much as his Speedo. The top two places on John’s list of things he cares about are taken up by those and the kids and I come later on the list.

So if John would give up wearing his Speedo I would make a cute little hat for the dog out of it. That way his two favorite things would be together in one place. However, there may be some objection from the dog.

2.) A headband for John.

My husband seems to be comforted somehow by his old worn out Speedo. So if he would stop wearing his ‘man bikini’

; I would make a headband out of it and gladly let him wear it out.

It would be much less embarrassing than a tiny bathing suit being worn by a middle aged, out of shape guy.

3.) Fashionable blue jean patches.

John is a construction worker and it always wearing holes in his jeans. He has one favorite pair that he wears to work regularly that have numerous patches.

If John would let me, I would patch them with his wonderful Speedo so he could essentially wear it everyday.

4.) A memorial wall plaque.

I would even go as far as having the stupid Speedo bronzed and placed on a plaque to get him to stop wearing it.

However, I don’t think I would hang it anywhere to obvious.

5.) I would wear it.

To stop the embarrassment of my husband being mocked and laughed at, I would wear the stupid thing. After all, it looks like a woman’s bikini bottom and no one would know the difference.

That way John could have it close to him without the family being shunned.

I come up regularly with ideas to present to my husband to get him to stop the Speedo madness. How far would you go to get your husband to stop wearing his?
