Need a new pair of slippers

I’m afraid to tell my wife that I need a new pair of slippers. A couple of years ago she bought me a really nice, really expensive pair of slippers from LLBean. At the time she was working there and got a good discount on their merchandise, so she bought the whole family LLBean slippers for Christmas that year.

At first I didn’t wear them at all. I don’t know why, I think that I just tucked them into the closet and forgot about them – they probably got buried underneath something, but about a year ago I found them and decided to start wearing them. Well I spilled some soup on them a couple of months ago and made a huge mess of them. My wife told me to only spot-clean them, that they could not be machine washed. I insisted on putting them through the washer and dryer. My wife warned me that would ruin them, but I got all “manly” and insisted that they were fine.

Well, washing them DID ruin them, but I couldn’t admit it to my wife and let her know she was right. The inside lining is totally ruined and even though I’ve tried to remove the lining, I just can’t. They hurt my feet to wear them. So now I want a new pair just like them and I’m afraid to ask my wife to order another pair for me. I just don’t want to see her give me that “I told you so!” look.
