Remember pedal-pushers?
| Wed, 02-27-2008 - 12:12pm |
Please say you do. This a.m. DH and I were talking about some warm weather clothes we need to get for our upcoming mini-vacation. I said something about capris, and he called them clamdiggers. I said, yeah, pedal-pushers.
What?
He'd never heard them called that before. I believe his response was, "Put down the crack pipe and walk away." LOL
Every once in a while I'll come up with a saying or a word he's never heard of and he thinks I'm making it up, so tell me, did you used to call capris "pedal pushers?"

Red,
But of course I remember pedal pushers!!!
not only do I remember pedal pushers...1950's...I remember a traumatic experience wearing them:
I must have been about 8..we had gone to visit my uncle on a Sat.and unexpectedly stayed overnight...we brought no change of clothes..I had to go to church there on Sun in PEDAL PUSHERS!! OH NO!
I thought I would be struck by lightning! LOL. Back then it was only skirts or dresses to church !
I never heard capris until much later

Oh, NO! Pedal pushers in church in the 50's!?!?!?! The humiliation!
LOL, I can relate...I think we've all endured a similar humiliation at some point in our childhood.
I remember my Dad forcing me to ride on his schoolbus route after all my chicken pox marks had scabbed over. He was tired of me moping around the house! I cried and begged him not to make me go, but there was no winning. I recall pressing my face to a window the entire ride. I think I was 11.
that's what it was..humiliation!
and you poor kid! having to ride the bus post-chickenpox....I feel your pain!

Call them whatever you want, still, "pedal pushers". LOL Even my dd's call them that.
Now, what is a,"bubble" dress?
