I wish I had the nerve to take pictures of some of the wacky things we see while traveling. Mainly the outfits that people wear. Last week was one of my favorites. Lovely guy wearing board shorts and bright pink Crocs. I overheard him telling the man standing next to him in line that he was on his way to Chicago to teach a class on impulse buying. Seriously? I wanted to ask him if the pink Crocs were an impulse buy or if had planned to purchase them. I felt bad - because then I thought surely he would come up with some story like the Crocs had belonged to his late mother and it made him feel close to her to wear them when he travels - or something tragic along those lines. I let it go. I didn't take the picture and I didn't judge. Elijah got a big kick out of it though. Then (again in Chicago) getting ready to board our flight home we see a another nice young man (late teens - maybe??) wearing shorts that he looked like he borrowed from Hannah with a tight tee (also could have been from Hannah's closet) and BRIGHT RED SUSPENDERS!!! oh my.. It was too much for us to hold the giggle back from this one! Especially when we saw the big burly guy standing next to us looking at little pinnochio in sheer disbelief. It's not about homophobia - it's not about judging others who are different.. I walk around the airport with a bald kid - believe me when I tell you that I am sympathetic to those who are different. It's just about the humor of the clothing choice. I know what we wear should be about our personality and reflect who we really are, and that's fine. Really.. I had my days of dressing outlandishly and fully expected people to stare or point fingers. I think that's why I did it..
I wonder if anyone has pictures floating around of me and some of my crazy outfits.. someone other than my grandmother.
