Okay, today’s blog is a mystery.
My wife, my two daughters, our neighbors and their children (who live in other parts of the city) are all experiencing the same phenomena. At about waist height they are noticing tiny holes appearing in knit shirts. Cotton, polyester, blends….it doesn’t matter. Almost looks like a moth attack on wool, but this is on material no moth worth his or her salt would touch.
And the mystery is spreading. At my birthday party the other night (sorry if you didn’t get an invitation, but 100 is all we can fit into our small MacMansion) other women were complaining of the same problem. And it seems that no men had noticed it. (I mean come on, when was the last time a guy noticed a hole in his t-shirts? Really?)
So my blog today is a question…do any of you notice the same holes in your t-shirts? Do you have an explanation for it? These are women of various interests – some garden, some go to movies, some read others do whatever. Some sit close to their steering wheels, others are back away from it. Some cook. Others order take out. There doesn’t seem to be a pattern. We thought of standing at the sink doing dishes, but, guys do that too and there are no holes in our clothing. (So far!) What gives?
The price range of the clothing doesn’t seem to affect the outcome of our research. From the Gap to Diane von Furstenwhatevrhernameis – they all have the holes. Pin size holes. Small, tiny holes. Always below the navel area and right around the waist, always in the front of the garment.
So, you’ve got your homework. What the hell is this phenomenon? By the way, if it exists outside of Dallas, we’d like to hear from you. Drop me a line at crawley5503@yahoo.com.
