Phew! I can only imagine how stingy that jersey must have been! David Witthoft, 12 years old from Ridgefield, Conn finally took off his Brett Favre jersey for a red shirt for the first time in 1,581 days. He has worn it everyday for the last 4 and half years. He received it as a gift for Christmas in 2003. Talk about really loving the present that he received.
However, I found out that his mother watched the jersey every other day and mended it when needed.
In reality world, I do not think that my parents would allow for anything like that occur. I would be FORCED to change my clothes whether I wanted to do or not. I think if I was his mom, the shirt would end up mysteriously missing in order to get him to wear something else for a change.
I am surprised that his parents allowed this and I wonder if this boy gets to go outside and be active on a regular basis? Although this is of course a publicity stunt for attention, I must say that this is one of the oddest news that I have heard in awhile.
