Jeans Debate

This morning Z almost had a major melt down because we insisted that he not wear the two-sizes to small jeans [with holes in the knees] and it required presidential debating technique to convince him to wear the jeans that fit and had no holes in the knees [although they were still slightly damp when taken from the dryer.] “My opponent has just said that he does not want to wear the jeans that fit and have no holes in the knees, even though it would prove to be a colossal mistake to wear the jeans that are two sizes to small. You simply cannot be comfortable all day in jeans that you can hardly button at the waist because they are to small, and jeans that have holes in the knees and are so short your ankles show are the wrong jeans on the wrong legs at the wrong time.”

We avoided yelling and crying, and he was finally convinced to put on the jeans that fit. And while the jeans that fit were slightly damp, he was OK.

“They will dry in the sun,” he said.
