we're talking equality, man

The other day I ran into Wal-Mart to get a new package of socks for Emmy, since almost all of hers are way too small/missing. I was standing in the aisle for toddler socks and underpants, trying to choose between brands/designs/prices, when I overheard a conversation:

Girl: Does she make you wear it?
Guy: No. No, she doesn't make me. But I like it!
Girl: Dude, guys aren't supposed to wear them, though! It's special for girls.
Guy: Well, you come over here and rip it off me, then.
Girl: *giggles* No.
Guy: I just like it is all.
Girl: But you're not even married yet!
Guy: If she can wear one, so can I.

They were talking about him wearing a wedding band given to him by his fiancée. He had an engagement ring and was defending this to a friend/acquaintance, all while choosing baby products <3
