Hand-Made Mask for My Father

My father is in a retirement home. I usually drive over to him on weekends to care him.
I gave him some packs of disposal masks before but they are running short.
I was thinking if it is ok I give him the masks made from my used underware. It is the bottocks part. Then, my wife said to him.

Wife: (to my fater)This mask was made from Tamo-chan's used T-shirts. I used clean parts of it and washed clean. Can you try on it. If it doesn't fit you, I will adjust or remake it. If it is ok, I will bring 7 masks next week.
Me: (to my wife) I also want to use the mask from my T-shirts if you can make so many.
W: (to me) Don't be extravagant. Even the masks from your underware have no any problem, right? It is much better than they go to the trashcan. We cannot make a living unless we have to make masks with whatever stuff we have in the house.
M: I know what you mean but I don't feel good as I feel like kissing my bottoms.
W: It is important to have experiences of anything.

I don't understand what she is getting at.


私の父は老人ホームにいます。通常、週末は父のところまで車で行き、介護します。
私は以前、使い捨てマスクのパックをいくつか父にあげましたが、底をつきそうです。
私のパンツから作ったマスクを父にあげていいものかどうか悩んでいました。パンツのお尻の部分を使ってます。 その時、妻が父に言いました。

妻:(父に向かって)このマスクはタモちゃんの古いTシャツから作ったの。 きれいな部分を使って、キレイに洗ってみました。
ちょっと着けてもらえます?もし合わなかったら、調整するか、作り直しするから。 合えば、来週、マスクを7つ持ってきますね。
私:(妻に向かって)そんなにたくさん作れるのなら、オレもTシャツから作ったマスクを使いたいよ。
妻:(私に向かって)ぜいたく言わないでちょうだい。パンツで作ったマスクも全然問題ないでしょ?ゴミ箱に行くよりずっとマシなんだから。家にあるものでまわさないとやっていけないでしょ。
私:わかるけど、お尻にキスしているようでイヤなんだよな。
妻:何事も経験が大事よ。

妻がどこを目指しているのか、わかりません。

Feedback

This is a really funny story and I really enjoyed it. If you use contractions, it makes it sound more natural. For example: it is --> it's they are --> they're

I usually drive over to him on weekends to care of him.

It's either "to take care of X" or "to care for X". While both have the right dictionary meaning here, "to take care of" (when not in the phrase "taking care of myself") has a strong connotation of "dealing with" — which is not what you're looking for here. I'd say "... on weekends to care for him".

I wanted to say like "Don't be luxury". My underwear is cheaper than my T-shirts.
My wife doesn't allow me to use a thing which is more expensive than my unerwear.
Is "Don't be silly" also used for this situation? Otherwie, is there any phrase similar to "Don't be luxury"?

Other people have commented on spelling and contractions in "I was thinking if it is ok I give him the masks made from my used underware"

One other note that hasn't been pointed out is it sounds better to say, "I was wondering..." instead of saying "I was thinking..."

Dear Rebanar, OK, I will use "wondering" when I cannot decide immediately what to do.
Thank you for the comment!
