Summertime is when I can wear my favorite crop top with high waisted shorts and stay cool in the hot air. It’s when I can go out and grab a bite with my sisters and have a good time.
My sisters and I like to go to BDubs for lunch a lot of times. Last summer we were there for lunch. My older sister got a text from her friend and had to pick her up real quick. She left her card with me so I could pay. My little sister and I sat in the booth for about 20 minutes after paying, and decided to sit outside on the bench in the shade by the parking lot.
While walking out, a man who looked in his late 50s opened the door for us. I said “Thank you,” and he didn’t say “You’re welcome,” he said, “Man, y’all wear the heck out of those shorts. Y’all sisters?” And he kept looking at us up and down. I felt so uncomfortable and wanted my older sister to drive right up after that. Oh, and did I mention how old my little sister was? FOURTEEN. We went around to the bench around the corner to where he didn’t see us and sat down. I wanted to immediately take off my makeup and get in my sweats after that.
