I was sitting (as usual) in my chair, reading some stuff for school and I looked up at Douglas. He had been standing in front of the TV watching whatever had been on and apparently, had a slight wardrobe malfunction. Douglas has the fortunate luck to be built like his daddy - long and skinny. I have a very hard time finding pants that fit him in the waist but are also long enough in the legs too. These particular pants I normally put a belt with but for some reason, couldn't find it yesterday so I decided to let him go without....my mistake. When I looked up from my schoolwork, this is pretty much what I saw:
The poor kid's pants had fallen down and he was trying valiantly to pull them back up. My battery died on the camera so this was the only photo I was able to take but I couldn't stop laughing! He couldn't get his pants back up so he started walking toward me with them down around his knees -- which ended up tripping him and he thought it was royally funny too. So he got back up and kept trying to run around with his pants pulled down. Ahhhhhh...the joys of childhood!
ha ha ha... :)
ReplyDeletey'know...you could use a bit of twine, or a shoe string, or a safetly pin to bunch the back of the pants into a wad, thus making the waistband tighter (hey, i've seen people do this as a PERMANENT solution to a too big waistband...)
What we always do is get a tiny bungee cord, and lace it through the back belt loops, back and forth, just in back, to cinch things in a bit. Then you still retain the easy access to the zipper and button or snap in front without having to undo the entire setup. Of course, the child WILL have to wear a long shirt to cover up the fix.
