It was a grand day for Garfield. Everything it donned at the party was nothing less than extravagant. Its collar was given by Linus, while its clothes were custom ordered from overseas by Michael. Armed to its teeth best described its choice of apparel that turned many heads that day.

Sophia used to not pay that much attention to dressing up her pets. She thought that keeping them well fed would suffice. However, to fit in with the ladies from the social elite circle, she too felt the pressure to invest in her pet’s wardrobe.

Judy was not impressed when Sophia ignored her. She’s nothing but a nouveau riche!

Judy thought of Sophia’s plump, disgusting father and her sister, whose face had gone under the knife countless times. She could not help but imagine how Sophia emanated the greasy stench from her father and the whiff of disinfectant from her sister.

Once the ladies ran out of topics to flaunt their pets and accessories, they naturally moved on to gloating about their husbands. And when it came to the topic of husbands, everyone would instantly think of Sophia and her celebrity spouse, who was recently infamous for his expanding waistline.

“I heard your husband has put on quite some weight, huh?”

 

Sophia knew she could no longer hold off such an inquisition. As of late, whenever she went out, whomever she met—neighbors, classmates, or business associates—they all probed on her husband’s weight.
