Check out this photo. I’m folding laundry and checking tags on everything because we are purging clothes for the big move. The little girl shorts are on the left, and the little boy shorts are on the right.
Here’s where things get weird.
These shorts are two different sizes. The girl shorts are 4T. The boy shorts are 24 months. Note that 24 months is not the same as 2T – it’s smaller, and sort of a half size between 18mo and 2T (although this varies based on brands).
These shorts are different brands, but I can show you tons of examples of this exact phenomenon, where Henry’s shorts come with a reasonable inseam, and Eleanor has booty shorts.
To wit, the yellow shorts are 4T, the plaid are 2T:
The purple shorts and the camo shorts are both 3T:
WTF.
