    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.

    Don’t use the shoddy curtains for material. Grandma has those to protect your eyes from the going-on of old man Finster and the other ex-cons.
