Today I Got My Socks Shocked Off

Usually, you think of old church ladies as these sweet people that might talk too much and try to get in your business, but tell you straight and exhort you unto good works and such. The elder shall teach the younger and all of that, right?

Well, tonight, an old lady at church shocked my socks off.

I was wearing a long denim dress and Sis. Old Lady comes up to me and says,"Darlin' you lookin' just as purty as you always do. But let me tell you something, you look better in short skirts and dresses than you do in long ones. Now, that dress looks nice, but I remember seeing you in somethin' a little shorter not too long ago. Now, not nothin' too short, but you know . . . and I thought my, you look 100% better in short things. Just let them legs show, honey. Let them legs show!" It wasn't until after she gave me an old church lady hug and walked away that I did a mental double take.

I laughed. Incredulously and flabbergastedly, I laughed.
