marcicatOne of my coworkers let us know that yesterday was 'Wear Your Pajamas to Work Day,' and I am So Proud of myself for not saying anything along the lines of 'oh, I do that every day.'
I mean, if they're clothes you wear to sleep in, they're pajamas, right? But if they're clothes you wear to work, they're work clothes. If those just HAPPEN to be the same thing sometimes, then clothes must be defined by context instead of content. Which means any clothes you're wearing to work would be, by definition, work clothes, not pajamas.
So there! Definitely don't always wear my pajamas to work. That would be ridiculous!
