Also, my husband said he would have DIED before wearing underwear at that age in anything other than gray or white. He said, "An ice skate on my business? In the fifth grade? Absolutely not."

Actually, I like that underwear, but I hadn't even thought about it for older kids. I can see why Finn might be embarrassed by it. Man, the things I have to look forward to! Right now my kids prefer the underwear with colors and characters. Haha! Actually, I like that underwear, but I hadn’t even thought about it for older kids.

Except "fan" sounds too stalker-ish. So...Um...Admirer? Follower? Ah, hell, I like your site. Good enough.

Me and all my girlfriend had them. We giggled over the fact that Sunday's pair was white, pastel colors Monday thru Thursday. Friday's were bright red and Saturday's were black. We thought it was hilarious that our mother's never noticed that they got racier as date nights approached! I remember my days of the week panties from way back when I was in 9th grade.

It's funny, but when he spends the night somewhere the heart boxers always get left at home and only the striped and sports ones appear! I guess I won't pick out any more of those for him in the after Valentine's Day clearance! My 12-year-old son has Gap boxers with red hearts and also the sports and striped boxers.

I think T would be okay with the gap ones, though...he likes the boxers from there with all sorts of colors, so I guess these would work! The Wiggles ones are a little disturbing and creepy!

SALLY: Yes. They had the days of the week on them, and I thought they were sort of funny. And then one day Sheldon says to me, "You never wear Sunday." It was all suspicious. Where was Sunday? Where had I left Sunday? And I told him, and he didn't believe me. HARRY: What? SALLY: They don't make Sunday. HARRY: Why not? SALLY: Because of God. That photo you posted tells me that yet again, Hollywood has lied to me. LIED, I tell you! Days of the week underpants?

I mean eventually it becomes funny-- my brother has all sorts of funny boxers-- however, he would have never worn those at that stage in his life. I hope you were able to make it to Target for something suitable. Umm, he would have definitely been horrified if you brought home any of those.
