W is for Wonder

Wonder-1. To be affected with surprise or admiration; to be struck with astonishment; to be amazed; to marvel. 2. To feel doubt and curiosity; to wait with uncertain expectation; to query in the mind.

Speaking of people watching...

We passed these teenage girls on our drive home the other day. We gawked, pulled over, doubled back and hid in the bushes to get a better look as they walked by.

It's a little embarrassing to admit this now, but I had to see if what I thought I saw was real.

This photo was taken from inside our Jeep and it's the G-rated version. From the front, because of the way these girls wore their tank tops, you could see much of their translucent bras and much of what was under them.

Just wondering if anyone can tell me what these girls were thinking?!

When I was their age, I teased my bangs, wore Duckhead shorts, Banana Republic T-shirts with the sleeves rolled up and Keds. Bra straps were completely taboo. So, I'm throwing my hands up. I can't even begin to understand these fashion choices. I can't even find a frame of reference.

Dwayne and I both admit this most likely means that we are now, officially, too old to understand or relate to the next generation.

And, another thing puzzles me.

Can anyone guess why are they carrying bags of fresh lemons?!
