I can't recall much about my wardrobe, which probably wasn't very pretty , but I do know I wore scabs.
There was a winter where I had three sledding accidents that all involved my face, leaving me nicely scabbed. My mother was afraid people would think that she was abusing me.
Not to mention the constant summer scabs from running amok in the woods.
SWEATER VESTS! Gods. practices thread title
JZ's comment reminds me that yesterday I was on the bus, and a Looniversity student was saying to another, "I mean, I want to go to law school, and also, if you don't get married by age 28, that's it - your expiration date has come!"
And I thought of newlywed Robin, and Laura, and JZ, and assorted other older-than-28-year-olds I know, and refrained from smacking the girl upside the head, because these gracious mature ladies would never do such a thing.
Hee, Suzi. I thought of that, and then decided to leave it.

Nor would they, I'm sure, have had to bite their lips in order to refrain from yelling, "That's only true of the vapid!"
Hey, THAT's why my marriage didn't work! I got married at 29, so I was way past my sell-by date! smacks self upside head
I'm past 28, and I know I'll never be married. She's totally right.
No, love. Your marriage didn't work because no one froze Z before his sell-by date and he went bad.
And when I can't babysit for Ailleann, I give her mother your number. (P.S. Sometimes, she bites.)
I'm cranky because I was attacked by time-traveling photons.
Can I have a cookie?

This gracious and mature lady would
never
smack someone upside the head. Rapping the idiot's knuckles with the sandalwood fan your sister gave me as a wedding present, or soundly boxing the idiot's ears, is so much more refined and elegant.

BWAH!
