We have piles and piles of clothes all over the place. One pile is clothes I've grown out of that Danielle hasn't yet grown into. Another is a pile for Alex to grow into. There's piles of clean clothes. Piles of dirty clothes. Piles of clean but tried on clothes. Piles of clothes given to us that will never fit any of us that we have to give away. Piles of clothes that need to be fixed before they can be worn. You can barely step in our room without standing on something.
I have a pair of sweatpants that say the name of a high school across the ass. Last week I saw these KMart pants that say "True Love Waits" on the front. Did anyone else notice it says it across the ass also? Alex asked if she can get them. Dani's "No" was faster than mine. Alex was angry - she likes my sweatpants and wants ones that say something across the ass too.
That makes sense, but it's not going to be some bible-thumping phrase that Christians like to promote. I won't let her wear shorts or sweatpants that say "Princess" or "Flirt" across the ass. That's totally asking for trouble.
When Alex is tall enough she can borrow my pants. Or she can get her own somewhere. The name of a school is fine. Branding herself a flirt and promoting via her ass is not fine.
I don't understand these KMart pants. Why do people need to promote whatever they're claiming to do? Should I get pants made up that say "I hostess at a diner" or "I am getting a B+ in AP English"? So you're waiting. Big deal! Waiting until what, a really cute boy wants to take those pants off? What happens when you stop waiting? Do you have to give the pants away?
And how come there aren't any for boys? How come it's up to the girls to wait? Why isn't KMart pushing boys to wait too? That offends me.
These True Love Waits Kmart pants will NOT be gracing the floor of our bedroom any time soon.
