“Gym suits, the only piece of clothing that could make Marilyn Monroe look dorky,” I said, showing my teenage daughter a garment hated by anyone with a brain in the 1960’s. “PE is why I had glasses in junior high!”
“You’re blind without them, mom!”
“I’ll compare it to making you wear one of my suits,” I said.
“Ewwww! Gross!”
“We had a saying that boy’s don’t make passes at girls who wear glasses. You might as well be hiding behind a wall.”
“Why were you forced to wear glasses, mom?”
“I mistook my archery instructor for the target.”
I remember those gym suits! Hated those things.

The grass was the recipient of most of my arrows and, yes, there was a near miss. 🙂

I did better in chorus class. Gym, as you can imagine, was not my forte. 🙂
