rejected by the cool kids - Beyond Tiki

They were too expensive for my family at the time - so my mom took me to Sears where she bought me a pair of knock offs. The only problem was, no little white "OP" stiched on the bottom of the shorts! I pointed this out - and mom says, "Don't worry - I'll take care of it." She hand stitched an "OP" where it was supposed to go. "But Mom," I said. "The kids will all know!" "No they won't - don't be silly", was her reply. The first day I wore them to class, some kid looked at my shorts and said "Hey! FAKE OP SHORTS!!!!" I was not a "cool kid" for the rest of the year. Oh yeah - Balihijinks really isn't about Tiki culture persay...
