    When I got a flat tire, I was told “It’s only flat on the bottom.” Same amount of help…

    My mother tried to use iron-on patches. They looked dorky, and they turned the already somewhat stiff blue jeans into inflexible tubes of discomfort right where your knee needs to bend. Turned out that the RIGHT way to fix that was to turn the pants into cut-offs. Bandaids are cheaper than iron-on patches and they don’t annoy you for as long either.

    Of course, there was a time when the tear at the knee was fashionable…

    Inside-out jeans are difficult to zip.

    I told my grandson that there are four holes in his tee shirt. He was puzzled.

    Sure, a hole for your head, two holes for your arms and one for your belly…..

    It seems holes in the knees are high fashion for the girls lately! (My daughter included)!

    My Grandpa told me the same thing about socks.I was only about 4… younger than Nelson.

    I knew it couldn’t be right… but I adored my Grandpa, and wanted to believe him…

    so I took off my shoes and socks, and turned my socks inside out.

     

    When I showed him that there was still a hole, he told me to switch the right one and the left one.

    By then I got that it was a joke and I’d been had.

     

    So of course, much later, when my little sister got a hole in her sock, I told her to turn it inside out so the hole would be on the inside.

    Tee hee hee.

    I learned from the best.

     

    By the time I was in grade school we lived in Ohio.

    We didn’t usually wear jeans either… my little brother wore what my mother called “wash pants”, and in those days we girls had to wear dresses to school.

     

    But Grandpa and Grandma had a clothing store in California…

    and every autumn they sent each of us a new winter jacket, and a pair of thick, stiff jeans lined with heavy flannel.

    We only wore the jeans to play in the snow…

    and on really cold days, under our dresses for the long walk to school, only to take them off once inside.

    Earl’s teasing quip reminds me of something either of my grandfather’s (Earl and John) would have said to elicit our giggles and, “Oh, Grandpa!”

    Didn’t have jeans until after getting married. Didn’t wear pants either. Now it is rare for me to wear a skirt or dress. My how things have changed.

    If the inside-out thing doesn’t work, put them on backwards.

    The proper way to fix a hole in jeans, if you are a kid, is to get out the magic marker and color it in while you are wearing them.

    Get a few more holes and in the other leg as well and you will be the envy of those kids at the forefront of fashion.

    Apparently holes in jeans is a fashion statement, though what it says IDK.

    I learned it in Topology class, and it had to be proven by employing the use of Fractal geometry.

    My son used to get holes in the knees as soon as he got a new pair. Excuses: Climbed over a fence, etc. What I found out was that was his style-way ahead of the current designs in jeans. He also tore holes in the but and wore colored shorts under his jeans. Used to make us mad to spend the money only to see the holes. Now you pay top money for holes.

    The place to learn of the latest scientific advancements; Snoopy’s spacious villa covering less than six square feet, holes inside, shrubs which are also holes in walls. Only a fraction.
