| We Were Told To Throw Them Away |
My kids need new t-shirts for school (yes, it's that time again folks). Michele has a gift card to Old Navy that's been sitting around for months so we go to Old Navy. Wow, "broken in" t-shirts are on sale... 2 for $15.
So we're looking through the t-shirts picking out dark colors for Nicholas and light colors for Jim. As Michele hands me some t's, I say, "No, these are no good. It looks like something was chewing on the collars." She hands me some more and they also look the same. "What the hell? Is that why these are on sale?"
Next my lovely wife informs me that these are "broken in". The "worn" collars are on purpose, done back at the factory. A closer examination of the shirts show that each shirt is "worn" in the exact same places. How 'bout that.
I don't know about the rest of you, but when I was growing up, if my shirt collars were worn, my mom would buy me new t's and make me throw those ratty ones away. Hind site being 20/20, I should have kept my old, worn out t-shirts from when I was a kid and sold them now.
Ahh... the youth of today. |

Funny, funny. Dad and I were just talking the other day about you kids getting school clothes. As I recall, we went to Sears. You got sneaks and clothes. I think Dad allowed each of you $20.00 for sneaks. When we look at the sneaks of today, wow, high prices. I have learned, you have to let your kids look like the rest of the kids. I think it's still funny!! Mom

Hahaha... this cracks me up. So, if you're supposed to buy clothes that look worn nowadays, why not just wear your old ones instead? Geez, cuz, we must be getting old. ~M.
