“S” day in the district this year
was without a doubt Thursday,
April 2. The sunshine spoke the
first word to each little girl, and
each needed only a glance at the
greeu sprouting lawns outside to
confirm her first thought—that
indeed this was the day.
Every mother, struck by con
vention and a fear of colds, knew
as soon as she let the dog out
and felt the sun that the battle
ahead was a losing one. She
made a mental note of where the
skipping rope last rested—she
searched her memory for the
hiding place of the India-rubber
ball—and
inevitable
room.
Father, .
sensed it too, and perhaps slid
the morning paper a bit higher,
obviously ignoring the whole
situation. (Maybe he could get
away before the question came
to him for final judgment.)
And it descended, like March
wind, as daughter stood dressed,
save for her long, skinny, winter-
whitened legs.—“Mom, can I
wear socks?”
Thursday was “S” day, the
official opening of Sock Season.
They skipped past the window to
school— *
Long legs, short legs.
Fat legs, scrawny legs,
Shivery but happy legs-
Out in the air again.
