I think you may not have fully appreciated the comment you replied to

I was just offering the amusing anecdote that I have a 30 year old shirt that doesn't shrink. I used to treat it with kids gloves to keep it from doing so.

Note that I fully understand it for the anecdotal weight that it has. That is, basically none. Is fun for conversation, but isn't intended to prove anything.

Earlier commenter was talking about getting fatter as they age. Not actual cloths shrinkage.

Ha! Ok, yeah, I definitely missed that aspect of the joke. :D

> Note that I fully understand it for the anecdotal weight that it has.

At this point I thought you were going for an ahem heavy-handed joke.

I can only wish I was that comically gifted. :D

That’s not who they were replying to.
