Mom - Turning In Grave

The latest craze has got to have my mother spinning at 45 rpm. In the continuing trial of America's sanity... Why are women wearing pj's out in public? Young girls are wearing them to school. Latest fashion trend or are we just traveling down the road to ultimate laziness?

"Mom, I stayed up too late last night IMing my friends and downloading iTunes." "I don't have time to get dressed and catch the bus." Mom says "oh - just go as you are."

RIGHT! Like that would ever happen. Parents, do us all a favor, forbid your daughters from hiking off to school in Sponge Bob Square pajamas or worse yet... baby doll nighties. Although that might severely cut into the number of boys skipping school, strike a blow for sanity!

Now that I think of it, there was one craze many years ago that would have really made me looney. If one of my friends had bought into the Moo-Moo fashion parade. You do know how that A-frame of a dress got it's name, don't you? All the women who wore them were as big as cows!

OK. I can now TOTALLY relate! I was sitting at the bookstore with my kiddo this morning, grabbing a bite to eat and people-watching at the window, when a mom/daughter duo exited from a car. The girl was in high school or college, I couldn't tell. She was wearing flannel PJ pants and, get this! -- slippers. In the snow. SLIPPERS! Whoooo does that?
