A Thong

Obviously, I am not following a plan for topics about which I will blog. I would never have dreamed of writing about a thong-plleeease.. This must be my very A type personality trying to be spontaneous.

Alright after sleeping on the visual that I shared last night with my new best bud, the waiter at Superior Bar and Grill, I realize that I was wrong about the girl in the short shirt not wearing underwear. I bet she had on a thong. It was just tucked out of sight. That is what is wrong about one generation making an assumption concerning another generation.
Note to self: I must be more careful now that I have been enlightened.

But that leads me to a funny School Board story. Most of the things I could and will likely write about the School Board will not have a shred of humor in them; instead they will be in the horror genre. But this story is too funny.
A lovely school board member from my mom's generation shared that she had a concern. She had visited several of the schools and she was appalled by the teachers' dress. First understand that this school board member had been on the list of the top 10 best dressed ladies in our city. She is always dressed to the 9s. She wanted the staff and Board to review and possibly update the professional dress code and one thing in particular she wanted to address was that teachers should not wear thongs. She wanted it to be made clear that thongs were not appropriate at school. The expressions on the male school board members' faces will always be one of the most memorable moments of my school board career. No one said a word in public, but you just knew what they were thinking. The senior board member with the concern had no idea what the rest of us thought she was referring to. Later in the conference room, out of the public's ear, one fellow asked "Just how are we to check to see if teachers are following the No Thong rule?" Our senior board lady finally said she was referring to those flip-flop type sandals they were all wearing. It was a great laugh at a generation gap moment. Same word different apparel.

Is my face red?

For dinner tonight I picked up a Superior salad. I was waiting for the waiter to bring my order when a young woman walked by in a small man's shirt. Now I grew-up in the 60s & 70s so short skirts are not new to me, but this was just a shirt and if she had been wearing underwear all would have known the color. So I obviously watched her go by and when I looked up a very young male waiter was watching me watching her. He had the biggest grin in the world and said, "You are my new best friend. Give me 5." Well, I high fived him and said, "You caught me. Just a normal human reaction." And I followed that with another normal human reaction a very red face.
