Short shorts
Jul 11th, 2010 by Mike
My teenage daughter brought home a couple of new pairs of jean shorts the other day.
Now apparently there must be some kind of world wide denim shortage that I was unaware of.
I would think that the manufacturers could be a bit more generous in the amount of material that they offer.
My wife: “Show these to your dad, see what he thinks?
Me: “Show me what?”
My daughter: “These are my new shorts.”
Me: “Where’s the back part.”
My daughter: “Funny.”
Me: “No really, there is supposed to be material that covers the bum. I have some old jeans. You can cut them up and add the material to the back.”
My daughter: “Very funny.’
Me: “Really don’t you find those to short?”
My daughter: “The shorts aren’t short. My legs are long. It’s not my fault that I have long legs.”
Anyway, I realize that as a dad in my forties, I am hopelessly out of style but I have to at least try to fight these battles.
