Stuck In Skinny Jeans

Even though I am about to enter my last year as a thirty something, I haven't lost my mind quite yet. I know better than to even try to put my chubby middle aged body into a pair of those bad boys. The name itself "SKINNY JEANS" warns me to stay as far away as possible from those dangerous denim trousers. Nope...it wasn't me that got stuck in a pair of skinny jeans in the Old Navy dressing room. It was Kayla, my 75 pound, 4 foot 11 cutie. How is that even possible? They don't come much smaller than Kayla. She is the epitome of skinny! But, there we were...or rather...there was Kayla flopping straight legged all over that tiny dressing room like a fish out of water. I tried to stop laughing long enough to pull them off of her, but it was no easy task!
We finally figured out the problem was that skinny jeans are not made for soccer players no matter how skinny they are. Their thighs are too large (muscular) to fit into the straight leg. We had to go up a size to fit over her legs, but then they sagged in the waist. Thank goodness for adjustable waistbands. I just keep thinking that if Kayla can't wear skinny jeans...then no else really should either. I mean they do put skinny on the label for a reason.
