We had school clothes and barn clothes.
Inara: So. Would you like to lecture me on the wickedness of my ways? Book: I brought you some supper, but if you'd prefer a lecture, I've a few very catchy ones prepped. Sin and hellfire... one has lepers.

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

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.

You are causing me to remember all sorts of little details. We didn't have the normal popsicles. Sometimes mom would freeze oj or apple juice, but mostly she used yogurt. I remember the yummy of the chunks of frozen fruit in the peach yogurt ones.
