A Brief Thought


Every year I find that more time passes between my visits from college to home. As such, I invariably find myself missing the perks of heading home for the holidays while I am away at school. These include the homemade meals, a comfortable house as well as offers from my mother to do my laundry. While all of these things are extremely convenient, I have found that the longer I am from home, the more disconcerting it is for my mother to handle my intimate clothing items. Specifically my thong underwear.

The argument could be made that thongs date back to the Adam and Eve's loincloth era. However, it was not until the late 90's when they became acceptable for the Victoria's Secret shopping crowd. Celebrities who tirelessly flaunt their underwear like Britney Spears and the long-forgotten popularity of Sisqo's "Thong Song" popularized this barely-there panty choice. While many have caught on to the benefits of the skimpy brief, others have not. It is this disparity that has made me realize that the old addage is true-You can never go home again. Or at least your underwear can't.
