Lookin' Good



Once upon a time there was a California Girl who wanted a denim jacket. She saved and searched and finally found the jacket of her dreams at The Gap...in the men's department. Sold. The girl loved her jacket and didn't care that it was a bit big...after all her sweaters and blouses had shoulder pads in them, really big shoulder pads and that made the jacket work.

The California Girl graduated from college and entered life...work, marriage, a child...a long span of time (a really long span of time) and two more children. The Girl became a Mom, The beloved jacket moved to the back of the closet and reminded the Girl of her days in college. A carefree time, one of her favorite times.

One day, the youngest child, asked his mom for a denim jacket. The mother looked at her beloved son and said, "I have one, it's in the closet upstairs." The son had the jacket  out of the closet and on his person in the blink of an eye. I have to say, "Lookin' good." The jacket, I mean, the son is not too bad either.

The son and the 35 year old jacket lived happily ever after.
