Throwback Thursday: Oh Mickey, You’re so Fine
Do you ever ask yourself, “Self, Am I a hoarder?” Standing in my basement looking at the collection of empty cardboard boxes I’ve collected (because let’s face it, you never know when you’re going to need a box for something, right?) I did exclaim to myself (and the dog)…”oh, we better be careful, we are headed for total hoarder status if we aren’t careful.” I explained to Duff that camera crews would be coming to film the massive box pile and that he would probably be missing for a few days underneath all of it and we could have a tearful reunion all for the sake of good television ratings. He was not phased by the idea.
Anyway, it’s Thursday and I’m sharing a throwback along with something I have held onto for many, many, many years…..yes, ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the Mickey Mouse T-shirt I have held onto for…..wait for it, wait for it…….33 YEARS!!!!! Yes, you heard me correctly, this t-shirt was purchased in the summer of 1982, when the Utsinger family set out on their very own National Lampoon’s Vacation by driving across the country from central Illinois to beautiful sunny, southern California. Now, the good news…..as you can see, THE T-SHIRT STILL FITS!!!!!! The bad news….I was a chubby kid, so that doesn’t really say too much. So, it got me wondering, does everyone hold onto things as long as I do?
What is the oldest article of clothing you own and still wear?
Leave me a comment and let me know.
