I looked at the blue bachelor buttons in the garden and snorted, I was ever tactful as a child. I also remember when our health class teacher who also doubled as the boys PE teacher told me in class that stripes, my blouse, and tweed, my skirt, did not go together. I also remember my trip to the principals office for replying " since when were you elected fashion director of Newport Oregon?" As I said ever tactful and demure. I felt vindicated a month later when he and the girls PE teacher ran off together, both were married to other people...it was a big scandal. I just laughed when I heard,and said, "I knew he had bad taste" As I said tactful and sweetly forgiving.....I will bet where ever they are today one of them is wearing stripes and plaids in blue and green. Here you need to know I am laughing still but in a sweet, demure, tactful manner.
