Mom: You have to dress nice today.
Me: Okay! *plans absolutely perfect outfit in head*
Me: *discovers that the sweater was given away three years ago, the jeans are in the wash, and the shoes are covered in mysterious brown stains*
Me: *glances at sweatshirt*
***TWO MINUTES LATER***
Mom: I thought I told you to dress nice!
Me: Compared to what I was going to wear this is the nicest thing in existence.
