That's what Mookie asked for over the weekend.
First I explained how life insurance worked, and that if I had a heart attack she wouldn't get a dime. She understood.
Then she explained what 'bondage pants' were. I understood.
Then I said "no".
She's annoyed with me, which is only fair since my chest still hurts from that thump-erk! she caused.

Posted by: Susie at May 26, 2004 05:22 PMYeah, some of us are too old to get it and don't have teenagers to translate!
Posted by: Nic at May 26, 2004 05:36 PMThe description I got is that bondage pants have straps and buckles all over them. Then again, Mookie is a teenager, so it's a 50/50 chance she's lying to me. ;)

Those are what I want...
Posted by: Mookie at May 27, 2004 05:38 AMI guess the words "bondage pants" are not what a father wants to hear from his daughter of any age.
They seem kind of, um, impractical and it would be hard to both wear and walk while wearing them. Is that the point?
(Of course, clothes were extremely sensible when we were teens. And the shoes also.)
Posted by: Debbye at May 27, 2004 07:35 AMThose don't look so bad.
Posted by: Jennifer at May 27, 2004 10:49 AMThey're not bad at all. But if you don't know what they are, it's a bit of a shocker to hear your daughter ask for them by name.
Posted by: Ted at May 27, 2004 11:04 AMMy pants have one strap and one buckle. The two objects together are called a belt.
I leave the significance of that reference to the reader. ;-)
Posted by: McGehee at May 27, 2004 01:31 PMShe's just goading you into blurting out 'Bhurka!', in a sort of induced Tourets moment...
Posted by: Wind RIder at May 27, 2004 02:35 PMLOL Wind Rider!!! Then again, I wonder if there'd be a market for tie-dyed Bhurka's. Marketing idea: "Rebel... Just A Little."
Posted by: Ted at May 27, 2004 02:45 PMIsn't a burkha just a sheet used like a Charlie Brown ghost suit with one face hole, instead of two eye holes? Heck, I'll tie-dye a burkha for her!
Posted by: Victor at May 28, 2004 02:04 PMBONDAGE PANTS ARE GREAT BUT I UNDER STAND THE CONCERN WHEN A DOUGHTER ASK FOR THEM BUY THAT NAME
BUT WELL BONDAGE IS GREAT BUT TO MANY PEOPLE WHERE BONDAGE PANTS THAT WOULD NEVER LIKE TO BE TIED DOWN
they are just pants. i like them. i like bondage skirts and bondage shirts too. who cares. when i have kids, im not going to like what they wear, so why should my parents like what i wear?
So bondage paints are jeans only with extra ugly added on?
(Yeah, I'm real behind in my blogreading...)
Posted by: Pixy Misa at July 2, 2004 07:18 AMHeh heh heh. Rock on Mookie, you picked out the exact pants that i'm currently wearing. I applaud your taste in clothes. Although, as far as father's go, always ask for socks. Then when you earn money, but yourself your own pair of bondage pants to show that they're not THAT bad.

Posted by: ally at March 30, 2005 12:53 PMnope nope nope, hot topic is another fucking poseur store, those are NOT bondage pants. There are very very interesting bondage pants out there. I have yet to get some leopard. To explain they are mainly plaid with straps connecting from one leg to the other (not strapping them together). Zippers are on them, but only poseurs get the pre-zippered, they can't do it themselves.
You can sew them so they're skin-tight. but, usually fishing wire is used because its too fucking tight it might break a normal thread.
Bondage pants are lovely, and usually not favored by parents. BUT if your kid is asking to get pants from Hot Topic, fuck. let them, there's nothing wrong with dressing like the village idiot (aka poseur).
