You grate cheese. Carrots, lemons, chocolate and whole nutmeg too. Occasionally you might push play dough through them to get imitation spaghetti, or mermaid hair. Any way that's what I've always used them for.

But the other day, I learned a completely new way to use a kitchen grater.
Oh gee golly miss molly. Hold onto your britches now.

You can shred your blue jeans with them too!
Didn't you always wonder how to do that? I know I've been dying to find out.

According to the most fashion savvy teen in my life, a grater works wonders to remove the outer layer of blue threads, leaving only the white threads to show through. You pay big bucks in the retail stores for jeans that look like this.
Hmmmm, can't you just see all those little worker bees in the bluejeans factory rubbing their cheese graters in perfect rhythm back and forth across the yards of denim?
You can take things a step further...rip the holes bigger
or write words with a permenant sharpie marker.
Then you'll have a real valuable pair of jeans like this.

Oh, and lest you judge my parenting skills too harshly, leggings are worn under those jeans SO NO SKIN SHOWS THROUGH!
