Happy Labor Day (which might be more accurately termed Laborless Day since most of us have off work)!
Don't forget that you can't wear white shoes anymore. Not to say I will obey that rule. I will probably end up donning white shoes around around Thursday of this week.
Who made up the arbitrary shoe-color rule anyway? No black after memorial day? No white after labor day? Foolishness I say. Does anyone even go by that antiquated fashion nonsense anymore?
Well...I labored on that day so I appreciate the recognition. In fact I worked two jobs on Monday.
ReplyDeleteI can honestly say that I know one person who follows those old traditions..and some other rare ones too. One of my grandmothers sisters still does the weirdest stuff...but it's all she knows. So I get a kick out of it. I don't see her too often anymore but when I do I ask her about other weird things like that and she'll go on for hours about how it was "back then"....great stuff.
You deserve a special "Happy Labor Day" since you worked TWO jobs on Monday. So Happy Labor Day.
ReplyDeleteYes, the "back then" or "when I was your age" speech. They alway conjure up a few eye-rolls, but for the most part, stories are fun ways of looking at how the times have changed, and a unique opportunity to connect with someone from a completely different generation. I love it when older people want to share their experiences with me.
...but that still doesn't mean we ought to follow the shoe color rule...
