I feel pretty... oh so pretty...

I went shopping with the Urstodian today. She needed to go to Target, so I took her, intending to be only the chauffeur.

Ursula needed socks, so we went to the sock section. She immediately picked up some socks. I, on the other hand, pored over the hosiery selection and oohed and ahhed over socks and tights and things. I ended up picking up a pair of pink "modal" knee socks.

What is a "modal" knee sock? What is modal about knee socks? I have no idea.

Why would I need pink socks if I don't have pink clothing? I have no idea.

And yet, I had to have them. And on the way out of the sock section, we were distracted by their selection of scarves. And I had to buy a pink scarf to go with my pink knee socks. And I still have no idea why I bought the pink socks in the first place. What is modal?

All in all, adding in the other shiny things that distracted me along the way, I spent more than $25 when I hadn't intended to spend anything. I should not be allowed to shop without responsible adult supervision.

I told you that you didn't need them, ie I TRIED to be responsible, but you were like "no...." so I was like "whatever" I spent over $15 on socks and candy

I have this horrible image of you wearing only pink knee socks and a pink scarf.

Lord, make it stop! Please God, gouge out my eyes!

hmmm,
I can conjure up the same image,
only it's not horrible.

gravatar alfie - April 5, 2004 - 2:56 PM - ℓ

EW!

gravatar srah - April 5, 2004 - 7:25 PM - ℓ

I am *shudder*ing at you all!

I dunno, i have to agree with richard, although srah might be pretty cold in this 'Spring' weather...

gravatar srah - April 5, 2004 - 8:23 PM - ℓ

Katie, you fiendish tart! This is your fault! In order to counteract this, I am going to wear pants VERY MUCH tomorrow. With GREAT FORCE.

gravatar katie - April 6, 2004 - 8:03 AM - ℓ

I would like a description of how one can wear pants MODERATELY and with MINIMUM FORCE.

I am not a tart! I am a pain au chocolat!

gravatar srah - April 6, 2004 - 8:20 AM - ℓ

You're sure a pain au SOMETHING!

gravatar srah - April 6, 2004 - 10:59 AM - ℓ

I am wearing the socks and scarf today!

And pants and a shirt and shoes!

gravatar Matthew the Young - April 6, 2004 - 2:27 PM - ℓ

you can't hide the socks behind pants! that's no fun... And i can think of at least one essential article of clothing you're missing from that list, unless... !

gravatar srah - April 6, 2004 - 2:41 PM - ℓ

No more Thanksgivings, creepy!

gravatar Urs - April 6, 2004 - 2:42 PM - ℓ

Yes, Srah is going commando today

gravatar katie - April 6, 2004 - 2:48 PM - ℓ

The question is, is SOMETHING being MODERATELY hidden behind your VERY MUCH pants?

gravatar srah - April 6, 2004 - 3:17 PM - ℓ

What? *confused* *cries*

gravatar anonymous - April 6, 2004 - 8:04 PM - ℓ

I wear pants FIRMLY! and OFTEN!

gravatar alfie - April 8, 2004 - 5:21 PM - ℓ

I don't think we'd mind having Matt at Thanksgiving. He's entertaining.
