A Fashion Statement… Loud And Clear

When I was younger, I dressed like an idiot. I had this one pair of ridiculously comfortable gray corduroy pants, which I loved because they had an embroidered record on the butt. I wore these pants just about every day. I’m short, so the bottoms were all ripped up from dragging on the ground all the time.

I’m at a friend’s place, with her six-year-old daughter sitting next to me. We were watching some show and talking about high heels.

Six-Year-Old: “Why do people wear things that make their feet hurt?”

Me: “Sometimes, you have to sacrifice comfort for beauty.”

Six-Year-Old: *Points to my pants.* “Those must be reeeally comfortable!”
