Some Things Just Take Time - A Long Long Time

---

Young me…

Felt embarrassed…because of her socks…junior high…1970s…oblivious of style…hadn’t really mattered…wore what was comfortable…wore…what that mother of mine sewed…

Until it was made clear…that to be cool…one had to be in the knee high club…and bobby sock wearing me…was not in the club…

And so it is…50 years later…old gal me…no longer cares…about sock style…nix on the no show…uh uh on the crew sock…still dons the nerdy bobbies…loudly…and proudly…

And goes so far as to give that kitty loving birthday girl…her own set of kitty cat cuffs…to which she surprisingly says…

You aren’t going to believe this Mom…but these socks…are back in style…

Back in style…rebellious bobby sock wearing me…out of style so long…she’s suddenly…back…in style…
how fun is that…how cool…is that…it just goes to show…that some things…just take time…a long long time…
​
And that daughter of mine…agrees…
