Mom! It has occurred to me that I have grown old, I have grown old, but I have not worn my pants legs rolled! When I was young, I was certain that doing so was inevitable, because Mr. Eliot told me so. Now, the only circumstance under which I can imagine wearing my pants legs rolled would be if I bought the wrong length pants and was too lazy to return them to the store. Anyway, I live in Florida. I wear shorts most of the year. Rolled up legs on short pants are cute on females of appropriate age, but well beyond weird on old men. And I still dare to eat a peach, though only if they're nice and soft.
