A woman wearing black leggings under her knee length black skirt.

With nude pantyhose over them! WTF?

Oh, I can see that. She woke up too late to shave her legs, but all she had that she could wear to the office was a skirt, so she decided to throw the leggings on under the skirt. But the shoes that go with the skirt require hose. She's running late, remember, so she doesn't have time to strip off the ;eggings and put on the hose, she just pulls it on over the leggings and hope (a) nobody notices and (b) she doesn't expire of heat exhaustion before she makes it to the office where she can hide her bizrrely covered legs under a desk until she has a chance to duck into a bathroom and ditch the leggings.

Not that I've done that.

I'd rather be late than be seen in public like that.

She didn't even have time for coffee, beathen, the poor woman has no idea what she looks like.

{{Anne}} Much strength to you and your mom.

brenda, that's just wrong.

Given that I was an hour and a half late and we were on the same bus, it appears she chose to be late and seen in public like that. It's just baffling.

If she has time to maneuver pantyhose over leggings without having them ride up, she has time to shave her legs or put on pants. I mean, that's a difficult task!

Many bad decisions have occurred for lack of caffiene.

I just don't see how you work out something as complicated as learning to walk or talk in your head rather than by trial and error.

My kids' Montessori school referred to this as "hiding a skill until it's perfect". They said my son had the most extreme case of it they'd ever seen -- he jumped, somewhat late for a Montessori kid, straight from sounding out syllables to reading books.

Some kids build all the skills invisibly, then present them as a package.

My mother said I never used a word unless I could say it properly. I don't think I waited to speak in sentences, but she claimed I never used any form of baby talk. Clear words from the get go.

My brothers (but this is brothers, you understand) always claimed my very first word was "shit" after hearing my dad say it. When he heard it, he thought it was one of the boys until they pointed to me.

A likely story.

Don't know my first word, but I was always told my brother's first word was "sockee." Or was that "saki"?
