Billowing underpants…. a side-effect of living on the near edge of poverty, with a frugal grandmother.
Christmas is socks…. so underpants are probably for back-to-school.
Though Agnes is still a slender slip of a thing, one never knows, does one, when the inevitable growth spurts of the tween years, or even full-fledged adolescence, will occur.
So the yearly WalMart 12-pack of assorted pastel underpants is always bought a size or two too big, just to make sure.
And every fall, when they finally almost-but-not-quite-fit…
the holes, and worn-out elastics, mean it’s time for a new pack, at least one size bigger,
Being rich means getting underpants… and even pajamas and school clothes… in your actual size.
