Secretly I was thrilled. S, M, L or XL t-shirts tops are usually priced the same so logically, selecting the biggest is our gain. Who cares if they are several centimeters long, one much learn to stretch the $, right? Son was a sight to behold and can easily pass for a celebrity rapper, yo, yo, man........
Severalk years elapsed, Son is no longer pint sized. The time actively spent on football, badminton, swimming & gym resulted in a sturdy body and was often told he was big for his age. XL Ts now suit him perfectly; meaning his previous oversized Tshirts are exact fit now, meaning, my $ is still stretched. Aha!
My joy was shortlived. For days on end I hear, 'Mom, I've nothing to wear!' after scanning shirt after shirt after shirt. The rejects mount up a huge pile which easily rivals the Pyramid of Giza. I should have detected the writing on the wall on my $. For a long while, he refused to leave the house in his oversized unless absolutely necessary. Alas, this oversize Tshirts fetish stepped down as his age stepped up.
The last time I checked, his wardrobe consists of only M sized tees - graphic t-shirt, retro t-shirt and several zany, crazy t-shirt! He's ecstatic with this new collection and happily flaunt his now undersized T-shirts to no end. New owners adopted his 'vintage tees' Pyramid of Giza pile, courtesy of the recycling centres which Son willingly donated to. And I see $ flying away before my eyes.......sob.
