Grocery store trips tend to be very eventful for me. Last night's was no exception to the rule.

The Wee Ninja decided it was high time to let me in on the secret of how stone-washed jeans are made. Apparently, it doesn't involve stones. Instead, they use fungus.

Yes, that's right.

Fungus.

I am horrified.

Mind you, I rarely wear pants and on the off chance I do, they're never jeans, let alone the ones of the stone-washed variety. But the idea that there are millions of people walking around right now wearing jeans that were washed with fungus? eek.

I'm generally pro-fungus, I must say. Fungus can be cool, especially when it's the type of fungus that tastes very bad and induces happy, floaty feelings. I'm down with mushrooms of all varieties. But this idea is enough to send me running into the streets, to tell people the truth about their chosen clothing. They deserve to know, after all.

Also, who on earth decided to replace the word 'fungus' with the word 'stone'? I reckon 'stone-washed jeans' sound a sight better than 'fungus-washed jeans', but who made that ultimate call?

Still no cell phone, by the way.

"I am horrified."

When I saw the look on your face immediately following whatever I said, I was all "Fux0r!"

Do stone-washed jeans even exist anymore?

In New Jersey, unfortunately.
