he says, she says in every issue Photographed by Erin Sage Photography Bryant & Jenny Hicks What article of clothing do you wish your mate would never ever wear again? Bryant and Jenny reside in Florence with their one year old, Owen. Bryant is a special education teacher and lead case manager at Ronald E. McNair Junior High School. Jenny is an RN for McLeod Health’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. He Says: “Jenny works night shifts at McLeod, so I understand her need to sleep most of the day. However, she likes to lounge around the house in a pair of hideous pink pajama pants with an army of colorful dogs on them. They must have a self cleaning device because they are always available when she needs them. She does everything in these pajama pants, from painting to cleaning the house. I would feel a little better if she kept them behind closed doors, but no! She checks the mail in them as well as walks the dog around the neighborhood. Not only do I have to see these very loud dog pants, so does everyone else! I told her they belong in an 80s family sitcom. Unless she plans on starring in a remake of Full House, they need to go!” 44 September 2014 She Says: “I consider my husband to be a pretty fashionable guy. I don’t think he deserves to be on any makeover show or What Not to Wear by any means. In fact, most of the time he is dressed better than I am. However, he has a few items in his wardrobe that are a bit questionable. One of these items is a pair of tan pleated-front dress pants. I’m not sure in what part of his life he picked these things up or if they were a gift from a now departed family member, but I despise them. I affectionately refer to them as his “grandpa pants.” Some of you may be thinking, “What’s wrong with pleated-front dress pants?” The fact that Bryant resembles MC Hammer when he puts them on is what is wrong with pleated-front dress pants! He denies any resemblance, but I imagine him singing “U Can’t Touch This” while dancing when he wears them. Can you picture yourself sitting on a couch beside MC Hammer without laughing? It’s a real struggle! I think he wears them just to torture me! I haven’t asked him the throw them out; my only request was to put them away until he starts getting a senior citizen discount. Maybe by that time, he will forget where he put them. Oh, happy day!” shemagazine.com
