Gunnar: Boy Genius

Lisa takes the kids clothing shopping and has let Gunnar pick up the one or two things he needs for school without much direct supervision. She has the other 4 to deal with.
Gunnar: On pant sizes the waist measurement comes first, right?
Lisa: What?
Gunnar: On pants, the first number is the waist and the second is the leg?
Lisa: Yes, that is right.

Much later at home Lisa asks to see the pants he got, but she couldn't because he had bought
SHORTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lisa: Why were you asking about the measurements?
Gunnar: Because these are Men's 32 by 34s
Lisa: What (looks at tag), these are MEDIUM 32-34 waist.

Gunnar thought they gave what the leg length would be if they were pants, and then just cut them off. Anotherwords, the 34 let him know that they would be an appropriate length short for a guy with 34" inseam.

God bless him, he is the future. And as always be jealous with your below average children.

Gunnar was serious, he was sure that the 34 was the length and that they were cut off at the right place for all men wearing 34 inseams. I just laughed at him as he was ripping off the tags telling him I hoped they were not to short for him. Not all men just him, personal preference in short length. He always thinks he is right and that is the funniest part if this, I had to convince him that the 32-34 was for med waist size not waist and length.
