Who Wears Short Shorts

who wears short shorts? she wears short shorts. a cute song from the seventies. with preteens bopping around showing their cute fannies. who wears short shorts today? In this restaurant a pair of them just went shuffling by. beneath them there were wobbly, jiggly, wiggly white legs. the wizen crone is at least eighty. does she have a mirror? can she see? she follows an old guy out. I nearly fall out of my chair when she calls him “Daddy”. surely he could tell her.

LOL! Of course all of us who grew up with the song can hear it in our heads! Yup, some people call their man, “Daddy.” - that is just so…
