I MUST be a dinosaur because I took my nieces school clothes shopping on Friday and the first list consisted of supplies minus the back packs as they all attend the same school and they have to use the same bag from first grade to graduation that the school supplied. After filling up the first cart with pens and stuff,we moved on to the clothes for casual Friday's as I said they go to a school where the bags are supplied and a uniform is worn Monday to Thursday leaving Friday for street wear. As we moved through WAL-MART's kids department where they picked out pants,skirts and tops then came the trip to the underwear aisle which even for me as a kid was a nightmare. You'd think that they'd go for the brief's as they wear skirts but nope not in a million years would they go for 'Granny Pants' they wanted G-Strings,Thongs and Booty Shorts! I remembered their mother said not in a million years would they EVER be permitted to own G-Strings,Thongs,Booty Shorts or boy cut shorts as they were still too young. I mean come on! My youngest nice is starting third grade and already she gravitates towards the push up bra's! My eldest niece is in 7th grade and walked right over to the G-Strings and plucks 12 of them off the rack and nonchalantly plops them in the cart along with 12 padded-yes I did say PADDED bra's of different colors. Now don't get me wrong, having a variety of colors in underwear is great but my eldest niece is a nice mid B cup size and doesn't NEED any extra padding in the chest but her justification? All my girlfriends wear 'em! Yeah Sure Riley,Brianna,Tiffany and Carolyn NEED the padding as their chests are a very small A-cup but my niece Shanna? She's a modest B-cup not too small and not spilling over the cups, B-Cup! But she wants to push her boobs up like JLO as she says! Shortly after Shanna plopped the inappropriate underwear into the cart, her mother-my sister in law-FINALLY found us and put everything back on the rack saying 'Shanna for god sakes! You're eleven years old not fifteen! You don't NEED to be dressing like a tramp! Just because the older girls are wearing these things, doesn't mean you have to join the herd! You're lucky your father isn't doing this right now or you'd be wearing GRANNY PANTIES!'
