Queen Mum


Obviously the mums that we're holding in the picture above are just pitifully small.


That's what I was thinking. What a rip-off! The ones we saw must be the Kmart versions of mums for the less spendy.


Clearly. I mean, you can still walk while wearing those. Pf! Definitely not big enough.

Okay, you wanna see what the Homecoming mums used to look like?? My boss showed me some of his old yearbooks, and look! The girls all wore suits, and the mums were tiny compared to now. Also, they didn't look like sluts. But, then again, this was 1958-1960.
