Dear Mom,
I know we're going shopping
to buy new clothes for school,
but please just go without me.
I trust your taste, it's cool.
See, part of clothes is... (shhh) ... underwear.
I don't wanna take the chance
that any girls might see me
in the aisle near... (shhh) ... underpants.
I'll go if we buy other things,
no one would even care,
but please don't make me stand around
while we buy... (shhh) ... underwear.
Girls remember stuff like that.
They'll tease me bad, it's true!
If we're going for... (shhh) ... underpants,
please don't make me go with you!
C.J. Heck
