The $235.00 Pair Of Jeans
Would you spend $235.00 on a pair of jeans? What’s the big deal with the jeans anyway? After all aren’t jeans just jeans? Why on earth would anyone spend that much on a pair?
So you take your teen to the local department store and you sit there while they try on jeans after jeans and listen to them complain about how awful they look. The jeans stay in the store. After weeks of complaining and having set every obstacle in the book from grades to chores on what they should do to earn these jeans you finally break down and find yourself sitting in a dressing room while your teen tries on jeans that could be someone’s car payment. When they step out, you don’t even notice the jeans because all you can see is your teen’s confidence beaming through. This huge beam of confidence mixed with happiness.
Sometimes you just gotta get the $235.00 jeans. Sure, these are rare times, but it isn’t always a pair of jeans. Sometimes it’s the make-up at the fancy counter or the fruit at the fancy grocery store that gives you that feeling of inner strength that gives the confidence to believe in yourself when you had a little doubt.
There is absolute potential for this to go bad. For example, no pair of jeans no matter how little or much you pay for them is going to really give you long lasting confidence if you don’t understand something about who you are to begin with. After all, they’re just jeans, but if your teen feels good in them as if they’re just as good as the girl on the cover of the magazine, then there is something special about those jeans for your teen.
If your teen is hip enough to know that it isn’t that the jeans hold a special magic, but that they really do look great in them and that makes them feel incredible; then maybe they should have in their lifetime one pair of $235.00 jeans.
