Tracks to Clementine

We go way back

We were waiting under the patio, checking students in for class. One mother, apropos of something said to me "I'm sure you don't remember this, but in the 80s, denim skirts..."

Self, I says to myself while speaking aloud to the mother, self, do you suppose this mother is being self-deprecating or does she really think you look that young or does she think that the only people who would be teaching her daughter for such a class would have to be young enough to not remember how denim skirts were worn in the 80s because if they were old enough then surely they'd have a better paying job?

I decided she was just trying to make conversation. I mean, people do that sometimes, right?
