A little kid talked to me today. I was in the line at t he pharmacy and a ~5-year-old was working his mother to buy a bottle of water from the rack they were standing next to. I said to no-one in particular "They put the water there to make you want it."
He turned around and said "I like your dress". His mother said "That's not a dress" (washed Levi's with a 2" cuff, black denim shirt, Lycra jacket and Loden green overcoat)
The only thing I could think of to say that gave the kid an out and acknowledged the compliment was "I dress myself." So I said that.
I wanted to explain that in military parades and uniform dress is a perfectly cromulent term. Dress Right, Dress is a command that must be followed in certain circumstances.
