You know that scene in Dazed and Confused where the girl is lying on the bed and has a friend use pliers to pull up the zipper on her jeans because they're so tight? (What's that? You lived in the Dazed and Confused era and therefore, didn't see this movie? Well, then, refer to your own memories of jeans where the ankle was wider than the waist band.) I was reminded of it today.
So, Mikayla has always has her own interesting ideas of fashion. I can't imagine where on earth she gets it from... I mean, I never wore a pair of black leggings with two different colored socks back in the 80s! Oh yeah, I did. Well, today she came downstairs asking for help zipping her jeans. I took a glance, noticing that these jeans pretty much fit like leggings, and suggested that she find a different pair that might be easier to zip. She insisted that she could get it, but thanks for the advice. She finally did get them zipped. Then she came back, "You know how I couldn't get these jeans zipped up?" I said, "Yeah." She says, "Well, that's why I'm wearing them!" I thought I had her figured out. "Oh, so you just wanted to wear them one last time before retiring them?" "No, they're tight! They look good!"
Oh dear.
