Hilarious

Should be good for half a dozen Mercedes payments for some future therapist

This puts a different meaning to coveralls.

I like Petey. He’s so droll.

There are more horse’s rears than there are horses.

When I was her age, snow pants were the only pants little girls could wear for school or church. And you wore them under your dress, and they were made of wool to match your coat, and they itched like crazy! Ah, those were the days !

Cdo they still make these??

Alice is right. I hated snow pants too.

I laughed my pants off…Ha Ha

Petey with walk-by snark! Never losing a step.

No, there isn’t…

This brought back a memory of mini skirts in a Canadian winter. I would have loved it if snow pants had been fashionable then.

“I can’t put my arms down!”

Nothin’ but net for Petey!!

Hands in the air like she just don’t care? But, she do!

Mom is always good for a laugh too!

Hehehe, when I was little my Mom bought me a snow suit to wear in the snow. It had down filling and was fun, but I had to wear boots too

Mmmph! I can’t put my arms down!!

I thought Alice was gonna start screaming how she “hadda go bathroom!!!!!!!!!!” :)

I love it LOL

Hmmphmmph Hmmphmmph hmm, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Sorry Alice I couldn’t contain myself!

Boy, that is one angry snow angel! Good one Petey! Master of the subtle zinger.

Poor Alice! The mom will most likely save that picture to show Dill when they are teenagers dating.

Yes, we had to take the pants off but the straps were under the dress (actually school uniform) so it was complicated, especially putting them back on to go home without Mom’s help.

I’m 79 and this is EXCTLY how I remember snow pants ! Nailed it !

Nobody is more creative than RT with the use of panel edges, three in this one alone.

It wasn’t so much the snow PANTS as the snow SUIT. The pants, with zipper legs, bib and straps went on first. Then the zip-up jacket of the same material which, if I remember, buttoned to the pants around the hem of the jacket so you were nearly hermetically sealed against the elements. All well and good until…UNTIL…need for a potty break. Careful planning was needed to divest oneself in time. And of course, there was the issue of all the snow attached to your suit that you dragged in with you. And the fact that cold weather apparently shrinks a normal, healthy bladder tot he size of a pea (no pun intended.) Oh yes, the good ol’ days!
