rubbers. you know, those black rubber monsters we slipped over our shoes to keep our feet dry in the rain:
i'm talking the short version. i actually have the larger version in bright yellow with white polka dots.
and speaking of rubber, bathing caps, those industrious little buggers that you yanked and fought to pull over your head before swimming in the pool or the ocean:
and yes, that is me.
then there were hair dryers that sat on your hip while the bonnet covered your rollers or soup cans:
i think i got one for christmas the year i turned fourteen.
what about snow pants. the kind that fit under your skirts to keep your knickers warm while walking to school. and no, that is not me.
and ice skates that adjusted to your boots. i actually have a pair hanging from my fireplace and well, yes i also have a pair of snow shows over the arch into the dining room. and yes, i live in florida.
and picnic baskets with plaid thermoses:
ours came with metal plates and bakelite handled silverware.
these are things i think about before my brain caves into sleep.
