The crazy things we remember

When I was in junior high, a classmate asked some of us one afternoon, "what do you like better—tight clothes or loose clothes?" I said "loose". Another classmate said "tight". A third classmate said "I would wear tight shirts and loose pants."

I can't remember the identity of the person that said it, or why on earth it stuck in my memory like that...but it did, and now I tend to actually dress that way. Just think - an inexplicably remembered random snatch of conversation from 10-12 years ago has had an impact on my life. It was probably during a social studies class. I don't remember anything else from junior high school social studies. Well, except for the "I ran around a rock" mnemonic to help teach Middle East geography.

PLUR!
