Dressing for the town

I normally wear just a thin pair of shorts in the house, no shirt or shoes. But when I go into the town I put on a shirt and change into shorts with pockets that will hold coins. Usually, I put on the shirt first, then remove my house shorts. At this stage, if Rose happens to catch sight of me, she will start waving to me and telling me goodbye frantically, at the same time bursting into irrepressible giggles.

You see, I am a little absent-minded. Rose is convinced that one day, which she is greatly looking forward to, I will set off for the town on my bicycle wearing only my shirt and underpants, or perhaps only the shirt, having forgotten to put on my shorts.
