Are Your Knees Hungry?
As I was doing the fifty millioneth load of laundry from this weekend's hunting trip, I came across these:
Look closer. Do you see the knees?
Evidently Papa Tom noticed that C-dub's knees had some major blowouts over the weekend. When he asked C-dub, "Are your knees hungry? You've got some holes there, buddy." C-dub didn't really know what to say other than to give him his goofy, googley eyed face and say, "Nooo, Papa Tom."
When C-dub was getting dressed, Papa Tom carefully cut off all the excess strands and smoothed the knees out, placing duct tape across the knees to keep them in one piece. Papa Tom didn't want his oldest grandson to be in religious jeans all weekend.
The jeans turned out near perfect and C-dub didn't know what to think about his "fixed" pants. I think they look kinda cool. We'll see how many washings they live through.

Awww, I bet he was cute in his holey jeans! I love my holey jeans but unfortunately they are on their last leg (wait, not literally... they still have two legs HA!) Just ripping high enough to make perfect daisy dukes LoL Love the duct tape too, just proves that it CAN fix anything :)

Dad must have taught me that all I really need in my tool bag is duct tape. He fixed my car with it (remember the door on the Probe?), I fixed my lawn mower with it... Now I know it can go in my sewing kit too!

Good job PaPa Tom!
My mother-in-law is the duct tape queen in our family. That is the fix all.

I like the tape, it's more attractive than cut offs!

Did Grandpa Tom start a new wave in clothing styles?

That's awesome! Every time I see duck tape I think of my Grandpa "Pop." He used duck tape for everything, including holes in the bottom of his slippers.

Great idea! One more use for duct tape! And I think they're cute that way!
