Memories, eh? I remember that a ritual beating from the school-yard bullies attended upon the first wearing of long trousers to school. I remember my strategy, too. I fought like a demon, inflicting undignified defeat on the little blighters. They left me alone after that. The scuffle didn't do my new trousers much good, though.

Doug, I don't believe I've ever met a gentleman from the "nickers" generation who doesn't remember with joy his ascension to long trousers. Long after many things have been forgotten, the question, "When did you get your first pair of long pants?" will usually elicit a detailed response.

And for us ladies, you can ask, "When did you get to stop wearing knee socks?" Funny how some early memories are tagged so strongly, while others fade to black.

And also, for some of us ladies, oh those elastic waists are so comfy now!
