NOOOOOO!!!!

It's my fault. I have only myself to blame.
I mocked fanny packs and then this tragedy happened...

That's right. My own BROTHER sports one of these.

He said he found out how handy they were after coming back from a trip to Hawaii and he plans to sport this baby when he heads back to Yale.

However, he does have some pride. He wears the fanny pack under his shirt. So now his six- foot-one toned frame looks like he has a fat beer belly. I'm hoping it's a phase he'll grow out of. But for now I'm trying to be supportive of his decision.

Take Heed and Learn From My Mistake: Making fun of people with fanny packs is not funny.
If you do, someone you love will succumb to the dark side of waist purses.
