Great story that conjured memories of my own. Thankful when I finally had money as a teenager and could buy clothes that weren’t blue light specials at K-mart.
I remember those scratchy, ugly school uniforms. If the nuns caught you rolling the waistband, you were fined a dollar for every roll and were given a demerit. Sounds like a fun conversation with Shaun.
Oh those school uniforms! 😔did you have a skirt that was hemmed 3+ inches so when you grew (more?!) instead of buying a new skirt, them hem was just taken down (again?!!) I got glasses in 4th grade, accompanied by early breasts which I tried to hide at all costs, and then the dreaded braces. I begged my mom to agree to contacts in 8th grade when the braces came off. Sometimes I still feel that pre-teen angst even now as some of that is still buried in my psyche. What a rough awkward time of life! Thanks for sharing yours!
