to think that long shorts on small boys are the VERY BUSINESS

[bibbitybobbityhat]

I just want to rugby tackle ds to the ground and squeeze him til it hurts because he is so unbearably gorgeous in them?

YANBU! I Agree.

he he you gotta love em

agreed!

i do love them too. its their little legs poking out of the bottom.

Love em,love em LOVE 'EM!!!

For me it's the very Mr.man of it all.Divine.

It is. Those little skinny legs.

Would IBU to make him wear shorts 12 months of the year?

Oh yes. So scrummy.

But perhaps a teensy bit U to make him them 12 months a year........

Nonsense. I reckon it would toughen em up to walk to school through snowdrifts in long shorts and wellies .

hmm
not when they cant walk
i like a knee

Of course you want to see a knee on a non-walker. You want to see a knee and preferably two of the three rolls of fat above it, imvho.

completely agree. DS has just grown out of his and I can't find any more long-ish shorts and am very

Chin up Inmy,they're everywhere at the moment.Get out there and stock up!!!

I'm a huge fan too - uber cute

Can I add that my DS looks like a proper dude after his first ever haircut today. The hairdresser did a v. good job and then insisted on spiking it with a teeny bit of gel before we left. He looked LOVELY.

DS2 would wear shorts or 3/4 lengths all year round if I let him! He once went to Beavers in shorts, bare feet and sandals - it was the end of November. I hadn't even noticed what he was wearing till we were walking up the path (we hadn't been anywhere else that day!)

He was out in the snow in 3/4 lengths too!! He does look gorgeous in them though.

YABU

too Enid Blyton for me. Go to Kensington Gardens at school chucking out time- thaaaaaasands of the buggers

[class war emoticon]

YANBU -they're so gorgeous in them. But agree, non-walkers you need short dungarees on to see the rolls and rolls of kissableness..

Oh shurely you mean knickerbockers around Kensington way Springy. I used to work just behind Peter Jones (nostalgic sigh) and some of those preppy uniforms were .

OH yes, there is a school just near Peter Jones (Eton Square??) with burgundy velvety knickerbockers and yellow jumpers, it's cruel really

Thats the one biddy!

I think you are thinking of Sloane Square.

I don't know where it is I just see them in that general region on the rare occasions I drag myself away from the baking & go 'up to town' to see DH as he works round the corner! I am such a suburban biddy these days!

Come to Australia, where the schoolboys wear long shorts as part of their summer uniforms. Very Enid Blyton look, especially if the youth happens to be a strapping six-footer.
It's an especially arresting look if they're at one of those schools which has a blazer with stripes or heavy braiding round the edge.
