Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for February 18, 2024

and if the label doesn’t say J. C. Penny’s forget about it

This must be dated. Now it would be that name I can’t escape from no matter where I go. Everything I click on has that name somewhere. I am so fed up with reading about her! The initials are T.S. Out of 8 articles on one page I read daily, 3 or 4 of them are about her. Go away, T.S. I can’t be the only person on the planet who isn’t enamored of you!

Isn’t she like 35 or something?

Good line of reasoning mom.

I’d okay the green outfit if she will wear a long-sleeved t-shirt under that vest.

Good answer.

I drive a school bus. Once, I had a 7th grade girl who wore tights, and leopard skin halter tops and all sorts of revealing things. One day I noticed in the mirror, her legs in the air in the back. (Get your mind out of the gutter,) She was changing her clothes. From then on, I paid attention, and she was doing it every day. I’m sure mom didn’t know how she was dressed at school. I mentioned it to my supervisor, and she said “Not our problem.”

How many ways can Jan draw Holly’s mouth?

That works.

She’s got an outer and no taste.

Don’t shop in the junior stripper’s fashion section.

She really shouldn’t wear designs that emphasize her lack of curves. Is there a children’s corset section?

Good one Mom!

Find a video of the Disney Mouseketeers. From the fifties.

Is Britney Spears still around? I mean, I know she’s still alive, but….

As of today, Holly , that means you can’t wear Depends, or support hose

What about Taylor Swift

Oh mom how to make Holly worse on clothes go to garage sales, all old styles.

This is SO middle school! I can’t believe how these girls are dressed.

Or NOT dressed, depending on how you look at it.

Excellent!

Good on you, Mom!

If you have naked skin between your top and bottom she’s not going to like it
