Sometimes you should do things just because you can. Other times, even though you can do something it doesn't mean you should.
For example...
This morning I was getting dressed. (Something I should do because I can.) I decided to try on some capris from a couple years ago, which used to be very loose. (Arguably another thing I should do because I can--spend less money on new clothes, consider progress my body has made at returning to normal proportions, etc.) When I sucked in my stomach as much as I could and stretched out like a cat, the pants no longer made me look horrible, but only slightly roll-y in the wrong places (not like there are really right places to look roll-y).
Wearing those pants was definitely something I shouldn't do, even though I could.

"Can" and "Should"

Ahh, this was supposed to be a humorous post. I should (and can?) try to remember to avoid attempts at humor immediately after I wake up. :)
It wasn't humorous? I know what you mean about streatching out to make certain pants fit. Even before being pregnant I bought pants on my skinny moments which didn't fit a few months later. I prefer comfortable pants (that still don't make my rear look huge) as opposed to sucking it in all day! The only time I can and should wear such articles is when it's laundry day and I shouldn't start my own family colony!
