Husky…how cruel could you be?
Tuesday, June 12th, 2007This doesn’t effect everyone who reads this blog. But I had a conversation with a co-worker today and it reminded me of my childhood. So I thought I would share.
Incase you don’t know, I am bigger than the average bear. I have been big since I was 10 years old. So I know what it is like to carry around some extra pounds. That’s not the issue, well at least today.
The issue I have is with the clothing franchise. 1. They never have cool or in style clothes for fat kids. Yes, we know we are the butt of all jokes, but we would have liked to worn a GAP or Tommy Hilfiger shirt once or twice in our lifetime.
2. My biggest complaint is with the word “HUSKY”. Why on jeans, especially Levi’s do they have to put the word “HUSKY” on the pants? Can’t they just write the size like they do with the other pants. I mean would it hurt to write a size or two bigger instead of the word “HUSKY”? You would actually be using less ink on the label. It’s not bad enough that we are already bigger and getting made fun of but now we have the word “HUSKY” on our ass. And to make matters worse the belt didn’t cover the word. You wonder why heavier kids wore their shirts untucked? I felt like the word was blinking in bright neon color letters.
I guess if I didn’t have the word “HUSKY” on my pants back then I wouldn’t have this story to tell you now.
So if any clothing people are reading this, please help us out and replace the word “HUSKY” with a number. You would be saving the heavy kids some heartache.
