The pastor’s vocabulary could have used a little updating before he addressed his concerns that the young people were taking casual dress at morning services just a bit too far. “I’ll bet half of the young ladies out there are wearing thongs this morning.” Though he was thinking of the ” flip flop” shoes of his youth, not sexy underwear, he certainly had everyone’s attention.
I am trying to find the blog that the illustrations by Kathleen Swain is part of. Are they illustrations to stories you have told, lbeth? If so, I’d like to see them. Such fun drawings.

My mother always called flip flops “thongs.” She was the only person I knew who called them that. But my mother called a lot of things by weird names. When I was a little kid, I always attributed her eccentricities to the fact that she’d been born in Tennessee. It was the only explanation I could think of.

We called them flip flops but I remeysome people said thongs. I hated them. The white part always got filthy and I tear them up playing rowdy and find myself barefoot. It was not uncommon for those to be our only summer shoes when cash was short.
