shorts

Sally, my rather large friend, asked me to shorten some slacks for her and make them into Bermuda style shorts. They were made of patchwork cotton and really novel.
So I shortened them and since Sally had no use for the leftover legs, decided to make some shorts for myself out of them.

I did, and I proudly told Sally when they were finished that I had made some comfortable shorts out the legs of her pants.

I watched her face get a little tight as she said ' I am sure they are very nice' and started talking about something else.

This had me puzzled for a while till one day the little lightbulb went off....
few people would be pleased to know that the lower part of their pants would be sufficient to make a pair of comfortable shorts for a grown up person.

Silly me.

I still have the shorts.  Faded and fraying but still ever so comfortable.
