She was insisting I needed new clothes. After looking a American Eagle (which I now find myself not hip enough to shop at) she said "you're right... you don't need new clothes. All the clothes we saw had holes in them, just like yours!" Years ago, after I had finished college, my mom and I were at the mall. She was insisting I needed new clothes.

I was at in the young men's department at Penneys once, looking for some Sunday pants for my teenage son. The salesperson asked if he could help me find anything. I asked whether they had anything that didn't look like it had been dragged behind a truck. He thought a minute and then replied that, no, he didn't think so. I think we all need to start reading "The Emperor's New Clothes" to our children again. Call me an old lady, but I really miss the days when new clothes looked new.

How do those jeans not "honestly made" differ?

It's very true that there's "two scoops of raisins in a package of Kellogg's Raisin Bran," but alas, the raisins are all at the bottom.
