Oh. My. God.

Below is a listing of all the articles that I have replaced zippers in since October 2008:

• Kylie's old white winter jacket
• Jacob's brand new winter jacket
• Sam's snowsuit (which used to be Kylie's, which used to be her cousin's, etc)

And now for a list of things, all of which the zippers have broken in just the last few weeks!

• Jake's hoodie
• Sam's hoodie
• Kylie's new winter coat, barely a month old...but no point in returning it because I paid less than $20 for it on clearance when it's worth well over $75

Why do clothing manufacturers put in cruddy zippers to begin with? Hmm? And why does all this happen *after* I let my Fabricland membership lapse, in a form of protest, because their fabric selection hasn't changed in ten years??? Meaning, I have to drive clear across town to Marshall's to buy new zippers, and hope they have a decent colour selection. Argh!

Well, off to rip out yet another zipper...
