Red and Rover by Brian Basset for August 31, 2023

Rover is beginning to sound like Calvin’s Dad.

Back to Monkey Wards or Sears for pants! Ha

Once Mom and Dad realize those are his new pair of pants, he’ll be in mucho trouble!

I wonder whats going through Red’s mom’s mind right now.

Red’s ahead of his time. Now they sell holey jeans – marketed as “distressed”, and charge extra.

How much for the little boy in the window?

LOL… Gotta love Rover.

I think my child, who used to play games on blacktop at grade school, had holes in her knees and the tops of her shoes demolished about every few weeks. Holey jeans were not in fashion yet, but I sent her to school wearing them anyway. She wouldn’t change her play time, so I wouldn’t buy new jeans to replace new jeans. I would have patched them, but she didn’t want me to. As far as shoes, we switched to Doc Martens which can tolerate a lot of abuse.

Rover …… never realized how much of an instigator you are …… :)

Something like that…..

Finally has pants that fit-not rolled up!

He’s just ‘seasoning’ his pants.

Went to a parochial school where the girls wore jumpers or skirts. In 1st grade my mother worried about me being cold so she put me in flannel pants under the jumper. Which was great except that at least once a day I’d be on my knees to get my books which were kept in a little cubby under the desk seat. I had holes in the knees of those flannels more than I had whole pants. sigh.

This is why I couldn’t wear the new stuff until school started.
