Horrible shopping trip
with a teenage girl? Thinking it would be fun to take my daughter shopping at Target turned into this:
P: I need underwear
Me: What kind do you want?
P: idk...I just dont want pantylines.
Me: Ok...your options then are thongs, boy shorts, or going commando.
P: Boy shorts are ugly...and a thong will make me look like a whore! What about the ones that kinda go up your butt but not really.
Me: (confused) umm...i dont know...are you thinking about the difference between a thong and a g-string? (show her the difference)
P: Ewwww!!! No! I need to go to the girls section.
I take her to girls section.
P: (angrily) This is little girl underwear!
Me: (very confused) Well what kind are you looking for! (she describes them)
Me: ohhh...like a "tanga" or a "cheeky" (back to the regular underwear section.)
Me: (finds tangas) These!!!
P: Kinda.
Me: But these won't get rid of panty lines. See the butt...that's what will end up being a panty line if you wear form fitting pants.
P: No. Not those.
Me: well there are all kinds of diagrams here showing the different styles of underwear...which ones are you talking about?
P: i dont know. (stands there and stares.) Where's the big underwear area of the store?
Me. (frustrated) This is it! You're in it!
P: (starts crying) You're supposed to be the one to help me...and you're just mean! I want to go home.
Oh. My. Word.
We go home...I get online to Victoria Secret and show her all the different styles.
Me: Which ones are you thinking of?
P: (Cries harder) I don't want to talk anymore! (Storms to her room and slams door shut.)
What am I missing! What style of underwear out there kinda goes up your butt, kinda doesn't go up your butt, and leaves no pantylines!!!
Re: Horrible shopping trip
lol!!!! What a kid.
And you're right, I think she's thinking of the tanga style but thought they didn't show lines.
Oh, and don't be so mean next time
lol!!
July 10, 2010 Best. Day. Of. Life.
Oh wow, what a day you had! It sounds like she means those "cheeky bottom" ones, but they do show a slight panty-line.
We were in Panera today and a teenager was yelling at her mother in a very similar fashion..."You just don't understand!!" DH said that if we have a girl she will never talk like that, he doesn't get that with a teenage girl, you just can't win, and it can't be prevented.
