Carrots
I was at Kroger the other night picking up my usual mid-week essentials: paper towels, milk, Twizzlers, etc.... When I was in the parking lot putting my bags away, I heard a car pull up behind mine in the aisle, music blaring, so I turned around to look, and all of a sudden, a girl hops out of the passenger side and runs to the driver's side. And she was wearing a bikini. No sarong, shorts or shoes, just a plain black bikini. A boy jumped out of the driver's side and got in on the passenger side, so I assume they had to switch drivers for some reason. But I still can't make sense of driving around town in a bikini. Is it THAT hot out there? Are we all just going to start driving nude now? Cause I really don't think that sounds very comfortable. And, girl, if you just came from the pool and your bathing suit's wet, you are just asking for a yeast infection. I don't like to think of myself as a prude, but I won't even wear sweatpants to Target, much less drive around town in what basically amounts to underwear in terms of coverage. I feel so old. It's like I used to identify with Anne in Anne of Green Gables, but I think now I'm gettin to be like old, sour Mrs. Pringle. Fantastic.

I often wonder how I am ever going to convince my daughter not to dress like a whore when that's all you see these days...
I'm really hoping that by the time our kids are teenagers, the pendulum will have swung back to more modest dressing. Baggy was cool when I was in middle school, so I'm aiming for a resurgence of jams, oversize polos and relaxed jeans. Heh.
That's a good theory. I'm going to cling to that! Years later when I was throwing out all my old clothes, some of my middle school clothes were STILL really big on me... if I only knew then that THAT was the skinniest I'd ever be, perhaps I wouldn't have dressed like that!
I know. It's kind of a shame you can't keep that 7th grade metabolism forever. Sigh. But I'm still glad I wasn't dressed like a hooker at 13. Heck, my Mom got mad at me the first time I wore a tank top with spaghetti straps...and I was 23!
It IS so scary what you see girls wearing now and I do feel old but come on, it is just trashy! I would not have been allowed out of the house in what I see! Never mind that I didn't have the figure for it, but I am about ready for the really low rise pants fad to pass...
Have you ever ordered a pair of pants or jeans online and then gotten them in the mail, only to discover the rise is about 3 inches total? So irritating. You can't even bend over in pants like that and they require a whole different kind of underpants. What a pain.
