My husband wears 36 long too and I can NEVER find them! Poor tall dudes! Also, Abercrombie is the only place that sells shirts long enough for his arms, unless he wants them to be wide enough for hefty boys. And I feel so old when I go into those places and can’t THINK because it is so loud. We have had some luck finding his sizes at a place called Ruehl. They are owned by Abercrombie so they have the same shady shopping bags with half naked high schoolers and the same blaring music. Oh yeah, and they are way over priced so we basically only shop the sale racks. I have a great story about taking the stroller in with us. I have never felt so out of place. The old geezers in sweats lugging a massive stroller up the stairs and screaming over the blaring music…like I said, poor tall dudes.

Just for the record, in my books… away time = vacation.
So glad that you had, ummm… some good stories to tell later. Hee hee. AND… I really struggle when I teach those kids who are wearing those clothes and talking like that. What do I do? Indoctrinate them against that. Well, not really, but kinda I guess. I have some sweet stories about my grade 6/7s from this last year, hehe.

Kelly that is gold!

I went shopping on the weekend and thought the same thing - except I think the girls I saw were about 8 and running around in skimpy outfits, giggling, being generally annoying with their handbags, lip glosses and mobile phones

When I was their age….

but that’s another story! Hope you’re feeling better after some R&R - it’s always nice to go home and not be the ‘adult’ for a while

I have never heard of Hollister before. Then again I live in a small Canadian town and all we do is pick apples and our wedgies. It’s freakin’ awesome.
Glad you’re back and that you were able to take a break with the ‘rents (I hate that word so much that I actually love it).

I was in starbucks this week and found the same type of girls there. Three of them! And you know the boys have the waist of their pants below there bum and have to hold them up. What is this world coming to? And yes I feel like I’m almost 75! But the next day a woman at work was telling me she could not find any skirts for her daughter for back to school, that all she could find were hoochi skirts. There are still good mothers of teen girls out there!

Oh my, you had me grinning till the end… then outright laugh out loud moment.
I hear you about the pains of man-shopping. Hubz wears 31×36. Oh yes, my waist is wider, thankyouverymuch!!!
Like, have a totally great weekend, mkay? Like totally, sweets!
