Children’s Large
If there was any confusion with my story two entries ago… there’s an explanation.
I was in Stanley getting some rugby shirts, cause I need some for the
coming Sevens tournaments. I also realized that the shop in
Stanley was going to be closed, because the HK IRB was being assholes
and shutting that guy down unless he comes up with a million dollars to
save his business. So I thought that I would do my part to get
him going.So I’m browsing through the England Rugby Polos and I realize that they
are huge shirts. I mean, when I get a shirt at Quicksilver, I
usually get a medium, but when I put on the small, it was too
big. The sleeves actually went to my elbows. I have not had
a sleeve reach my elbows since I was 18 and 190 pounds.I’m standing there talking to Jo, and I’m like I really want these
shirts but they don’t fit me. Then all of a sudden the dude who
owns the place goes, get a kids size. I freak out, what?
Kids sizes, you’re kidding me. But then I figure, that if the
adult sizes are larger than normal, the kids sizes should also be too.So I take the largest kid size, 12 years old, BTW, and I put it
on. A perfect fit. I mean it doesn’t get to be a better
size than that. I was so happy and excited. I was like no
shit. So I get an away and a home jersey, and I’m all set.
I’ll probably just wear the white one to games and the navy blue one
out of the house….So there you have it kids, I am a 12 year old again. Not like I never was.
