How a 14 year old views Victoria's Secret

If you don't understand the difference between a fitted baseball hat and a regular baseball hat OR the difference between Victoria's Secret and Target, today is the day to read.  I didn't get it, I mean, I get what the physical difference is, but I can't imagine why anyone would bother to spend the extra money to have the hat "fitted"instead of adjustable...well, here ya go...

Cody and I are driving to Best Buy, every man's favorite store, and Cody says to me "remember when I almost bought this hat at the shore" I said yes, although I did not, you can't imagine how long these stories can get.  The hat he is referring to is the Green fitted Phillies baseball hat currently on his head.  He says "boy, am I glad I didn't buy it, can you imagine?" I cannot imagine why anything like any of this matters to anyone, but I indulge the entire conversation because half the time I just like seeing what is going on in my kids heads.

So I bite, "Why Code?" he continues, "well, that one was a regular hat and this one is a fitted hat." I say, "I just don't see what the difference is, but I am a girl."  I use this pathetic excuse for not understanding things that I know will require a long "boy explanation."  So Cody begins...."Well mom, it's like this, you can buy a bra at Victoria's Secret and you can buy a bra at Target, both bras do the same job, but you'd rather have the bra from Victoria's secret because it is just nicer." While my gapping jaw was busy collecting dirt dragging through the Best Buy parking lot, all I could think was I get my bras at Walmart? 


Are you serious with this? Did he just make the MOST intelligent analogy between bras and baseball hats? Did he really just make the most sense EVER!?! If only "Declined Penalties" and "Off-sides" could be compared to bras and lipstick my life would be complete....

So he continues....

"I mean if you want to wear the exact MLB hat that the players wear, you get a fitted hat, I mean, what's your favorite band?" (he doesn't give me an opportunity to answer). "Ok, so Blue October, lets say you want to see Blue October and Jim takes you to see a Blue October cover band, they probably sound the same, but their not, one is the real thing and the other isn't,  and that is why you want an official MLB fitted baseball hat, you want the real thing!"



Holy crap. Did that all really just happen?

I didn't say a word, I just grabbed my phone and started taking notes so that I would never forget this conversation happened, and of course, so I could tell all of you.
