Gray Matters by Stuart Carlson and Jerry Resler for June 14, 2021

Apparently, Em isn’t in the mood.

My dear Aunt Sophie; “Let’s be gay and have drink!”

The roaring 20s made a big impression on her.

We called them rubbers growing up. They were red. And slipped over your shoes. Not high enough to really protect anything but maybe the toes of your shoes. Hated them.

It’s especially stunning for her, since she isn’t seeing exactly what he is talking about!

Galoshes or overshoes.

\\//_

Rubbers. Haven’t thought of that word in ages but I do remember them. I don’t think I ever owned a pair.

Apparently today’s old fogey word is “bathing suit”.

By her look she may have misheard “outside” as “inside” which makes this close to XXX rated.

Why, does he have mistakes on his homework?

Dope!

She looks worried.

My father called them overshoes.

Well there goes another word stolen from my vocabulary, At least gay will have a companion.
