The Jeans

It all began innocently enough.   I went shopping for Abby at the beginning of the school year because she needed jeans.   I bought five or six pairs on sale at various places and called it a day.   I didn't count on the fact that Abby would bloom into a fashionista this year and that only one pair of jeans would make the cut.  They are a dark blue pair of LEI's and they are the ONLY jeans that she will wear.   She says they are the only ones that fit.   Never mind that I also bought a light pair of LEI's and they are the same cut but "they don't fit right".  My winter has consisted of washing those same jeans again and again.   Thank goodness four other people live in this house so her jeans can get washed without causing too much extra work.  

Last night she didn't have the jeans laid out to wash so I didn't wash them.  She walked into the bathroom to check her outfit with them and of course, she was perfectly coordinated in her aqua top and black and aqua polka dotted bow and the jeans-the very dirty jeans.  Apparently, they still look good even with all kinds of ick on them.   I made her take them off and I gave her another pair of jeans which looked exactly the same I thought and she muttered something about "looking stupid" and went to eat breakfast.  

I didn't think this was supposed to start so soon.   On an up note at least her tastes have not gotten expensive since I found the LEI's at WalMart for under 15.00 and I know what to buy for next season as long as she doesn't change her mind (yeah that will never happen!!!).
