Kid came into pizza shop Friday night... had on some designer shirt.
I was a little bored at the time..
"Hi Aero, what's up?"
"my name isn't aero."
"oh, but your shirt says aero."
"that's a company"
"Wow, you work for that company?"
"No"
"Oh, they pay you to advertise?"
"No."
"wait a second, don't tell me you're doing it for free."
"they're not paying me."
"Let me get this straight. You mean to tell me that you paid extra for that shirt, so that you could advertise for them? And, you're trying to convince your classmates that they need to buy those shirts or else you're better than them??"
"uhhhh"
What was most remarkable and amusing about this, rather than pointing out how stupid the whole designer clothing "fad" has been and always will be, is that the expression on the kids face was one of sudden realization that his world had just been turned upside down.
I wish I had a picture of his face with that expression while he contemplated the whole discussion I had with him.
