charliesmum | Charlie story and fashion question

The other day I bought one of those Tide Stick things, to see if it actually worked. Charlie asked me what it was, and I think I must have said something along the lines of 'it cleans things'.

He was playing his Gamecube, and was really unhappy because his disc wasn't working. I came in to see if I could help, and I told him he should try cleaning it. "I did," he said, holding up the disc. It was covered in thse faint lines, like he'd taken a marker to it. "I used this."

I think you can see where this is going. He used the Tide stick.

Hey, any of you fashion types out there, can you explain the whole 'wear thongs and low rise trousers' thing? Is it still in style? Is one supposed to show the thong in the back?

I'm probably too old to do this, but I bought some thongs and I have some low rise jeans, and I'm curious.
