My granny is a fob!

So I was about to take a shower today, and my 85-year-old granny asked me to help her to look for her reading glasses, needle and thread. I got them ready for her and head straight to the shower… until I realized I forgot my towels and head back out, only to see that my granny is about to sew up the “rips” from my $120 ripped jeans from Club Monaco!

I screamed and told her to STOP!

“They are ripped … I thought I’d sew it up for you. By the way, why would you buy a pair of ripped jeans? Check carefully when you buy jeans next time to make sure there are no rips.”

I think I also saw patches and I know she would’ve put them on my ripped jean, too. Thank God I stopped her in time — otherwise I’d have ended up with a completely sewn jeans with different color of patches around the knee area too.

I was trying to describe to my mom what kind of shoes she had bought me last month, since she claims to have forgotten. The following conversation took place while we were shopping:

Mom: Yes remind me what kind of shoes was it that I bought you?
Me:
They were wedges …
Mom: What are wedges?
Me:
Um, you know, they are like platforms, the shape looks like a wedge for a door-stopper.
Mom:
I still do not know what are these wedgies.  Show me what is a wedgie.

Couldn’t help but picture myself giving my mom a wedgie in the middle of the mall.

Reader Cindy sends us a pic of her mom rocking some serious style. Big floppy hat? Check. High waisted jeans? Check. Huge sunglasses a la Olsen twins? Check! Rachel Zoe would be proud!
