You know why your SIL and daughter want you to go with them? Because now that you have trimmed your nose, ear and eyebrow hair, got a haircut, (and hopefully trimmed your beard), and got your nails trimmed down to 1/8 inch (from that un-godly one inch) and manicured, they think you are presentable. At least for now. LOL!

Of course you can change that delusion, by wearing your cowboy shirt with red and brown stripes adorned with silver snaps and your blue and orange checkered polyester bell-bottom pants, that are three inches too short.

Oh. One more thing: Your black orthopedic shoes with white socks? That’ll kill ‘em!

Tell me if this translation works:

¿Usted sabe por qué su SIL y la hija quieren que usted vaya con ellos? Como ahora que usted ha recortado su nariz, oído y pelo de ceja, consiguió un corte de pelo, (y con esperanza recortó su barba), y recortó sus uñas abajo a la pulgada 1/8 (de aquella una pulgada impía) y manicured, ellos piensan que usted es presentable. Al menos por el momento. ¡LOL!

Por supuesto usted puede cambiar aquella ilusión, llevando puesto su camisa de vaquero con rayas rojas y marrones embellecidas por broches a presión de plata y sus pantalones de fondo de campana de poliester a cuadros azules y de naranja, que son tres pulgadas demasiado cortas.

Ah. Uno más cosa: ¿Sus zapatos ortopédicos negros con calcetines blancos? ¡Esto matará les!

I suppose because I am looking 30 years younger and a veritable Beau Brummel has something to do with it. But of course you did got mention my native charm, wit and intellectual accomplishments. And, lest we forget, my cultivated modesty is also quite attractive.

Now Miz Yorkie, the clobber you describe is something that I am sure you would find in pride of place in the wardrobes of Sharky, Pup or Nully. However, as you are aware, by my previous post, the matter is now moot.

Your translation is much better than your analysis of my favored status. :)
