The oddness of the human race.

Isn't it peculiar that when we are small we wait impatiently for the time when we are regarded as old enough to progress to long trousers.

Yet when we are grown up and secure in our long trousered suits and jeans we can hardly wait to get into a pair of shorts.

WHY? This idiosyncrasy has puzzled me for the last few years.

The long and short of it.

I'd bet that if that youngster had been asked to wear a pair of short trousers he would have been most indignant. Yet the grown up person with him was happy enough to don a pair and doff his long'uns.

The ways of humankind become more puzzling the older I get.
