Overheard: “My mom took away all my girl jeans”
In speaking with a 14 year-old boy at church a few weeks back, this was the reply given when I asked how he was doing:
My mom grounded me because I came home past my curfew last week. It sucks — she took away my PS2 and all my girl jeans.
The grounding and PS2 parts I can relate to. I was a boy not long ago (and still am to an extent). But the confiscated girl jeans as punishment? I just don’t get it, even if that’s what budding hipsters are wearing now.
Blake, I’d like you to meet Behind The Times. Behind The Times, say hello to Blake.

Depeche Mode as a tag on this one is unfair! These kids listen to Fall Out Boy … Behind The Times indeed!

Depeche mode means “in style” in German when not a proper noun. But yeah, I’m still behind the times.

Maybe he meant Girl jeans.

@Josh
I wish he did, but he confirmed to me that he shops at girl boutiques.

This makes me laugh, especially since last summer, boy-cut jeans were in style for girls. Ironic, eh?

Those jeans are actually in style.
