Turtleneck Twin

People who know me are aware that I happen to wear a lot of turtlenecks; however, I think I've made some progress in this area, as I try not to wear them all the time now. My first indication that I might be overdoing it occurred a few years ago when a student in my class asked me why I wore them so much. I said I liked them and silently vowed to introduce some new tops into my wardrobe. And I thought I had really done a nice job of holding onto a few stylish turtlenecks, while ensuring that I regularly rotated other (less cozy) tops into the mix.

Yet... just the other day, while we were in line for the drive-thru at Tim Horton's, Hannah pointed out excitedly that there was a woman in the parking lot who looked "just like you, Mommy!" I glanced over, but the mystery woman was already hidden in her car. I imagined she had blonde hair or something to that effect. Then Hannah continued, "Yeah, she looked like you. Wearing a turtleneck."

For all I know, this woman had dark, long hair and was 7 ft. tall. But because she was wearing a turtleneck, she apparently looked just like me. Oh well, there are worse things in life to be associated with than an article of clothing (and a reliably cozy one, at that).
