it does happen, i'm ashamed to say.

Dorter was really delighted to be part of our anniversary celebrations this year, and forced her father to change from his work clothes before we went out, as it was a special occasion. She herself changed out of jeans into her denim pelmet, which is the only skrit* she'll wear nowadays, to show how important a day it was.

*typo reminds me of the old joke - Graffiti scrawled on a wall reads "Grils Rule!" The word "Grils" is crossed out and replaced by "Girls". Underneath is written "What about us Grils, then?" Oh, please yourselves.
