No instead he comes home one day with his pants falling down around his thighs, and I asked him why he had pants on like that guy we saw on the street once- he said "Mom, I am just skinny, and these are in style", some truth, some style, some laughter still comes to mind when we wore pants so tight they would not go anywhere :)Chef Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11198603107302675448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4496267973912420638.post-62663045929945367902010-04-15T16:31:14.153-04:002010-04-15T16:31:14.153-04:00Too bad you didn't keep a photo of yourself in...Too bad you didn't keep a photo of yourself in the hiphuggers and T-shirt.

I remember the photo of you and Chuck Scott(our drama teacher) in the Wilbur Wright Alumni room... you with the bellbottoms and super long hair, circa 1972.<br /><br />We lucked out with Ryan. He just wanted to "blend in" at High School, and consequently, never acquired a " brand".
