We had school clothes and play clothes, which we changed into as soon as we got home. My mom didn't care how dirty our play clothes got, or even what they looked like, so old faded t-shirts of my dad's or whatever we wanted were okay.
Whoa! I... I think I'm having a thought. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a thought. Now I'm having a plan. Now I'm having a wiggins.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
We had school clothes and barn clothes.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
We had school uniforms and clothes that weren't school uniforms. We were encouraged to get none of it dirty. Given how easily mango juice washed out, I think we complied decently.

I am very unmotivated today. I have been watching many trailers at the Apple Movie site.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Sumi, you're waiting for the Serenity trailer, aren't you?

I am waiting for a reply to an e-mail which will either quell or incite frustration.
Wait.
Wait, wait, wait.
Still waiting.

I don't think we made a distinction. And we could get pretty filthy. There was a gutter overflow ditch behind our house (a big oval) that we used to dig ginormous holes in. Once you got past the light clay on top, you got to sand and after about 2 feet of that, you got to the greasiest, densist clay glop ever. It was lovely.
You know what? I don't think I ever saw that ditch fill from overflow. Sure, it'd collect water after storms, but just like everything else did. The source wasn't the big drainpipes on the end. Weird.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I totally fucked up a pair of new suede school shoes by playing in the dirt in them the week before school started, but that was because I didn't really like them in the first place. I was a very passive aggressive child.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Heh. A friend and neighbor said she could always tell...DH's car was in the driveway at lunch...and the kids were out on the deck with popsicles.
