I had lengthy conversations with all five of these guys. I even walked outside talking to them, which is technically “in public.” And you know what? No one said a word about the Grinch pants.<\/p>\n
If I saw someone wearing Grinch pants, or Cat in the Hat pants, or Green Eggs and Ham pants, I would say something appreciative. Or I’d at least laugh.<\/p>\n
The five guys were extremely nice, though. Maybe they felt sorry for me. “Poor lady, she’s so befuddled by her flooded basement that she forgot to take her pajamas off.”<\/i><\/p>\n
These Grinch pants are my favorite lounging pants. I wear them all winter because they make me laugh and they make Tom laugh.<\/p>\n
That’s the medicine of Dr. Seuss, which has kept me sane since I was 4 years old. I was forced to eat canned asparagus and Tuna Aloha and similar horrid non-food of the ’60s, and my sister read to me those immortal lines,<\/p>\n

I do not like them, Sam-I-am!<\/i><\/p>\n
Then, when the animated “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” came on TV, I was so happy. Someone else in the world had an imagination even weirder than mine!<\/p>\n
I feel very sorry for anyone who didn’t have Dr. Seuss books in their childhood. They missed out on learning the fun that can be had with rhyme and rhythm.<\/p>\n
