Just Like Your Mother

justlikeyourmotherThere are those moments of childhood so traumatizing they remain permanently burned into your memory.

As a child my mother had a penchant for spandex. And not the simple black leggings we see today. She wore shiny spandex adorned with a full-on  leopard print. We called them her Peggy Bundy pants. And like blue jeans, my mother thought they went with everything – the reason they were on pretty heavy rotation for what I recall being years. She’d wear them anywhere clothes were required. To the grocery store, to the library, to the airport – and the most memorable times during trips to my elementary school.

So here I am – 25 years later – donning snow boots, tie-dye stretch pants, and a mismatch shirt. I hope to make Avery proud.

    Oh just call them ‘yoga pants’ instead of Peggy Bundy pants and they’re totally ‘in’.
