Misplaced clothing

Remember when I told you about a teacher's inappropriate work outfit?  I had a bit of deja vu yesterday because I saw someone else wearing clothing that I didn't expect and I just had to write about it.

I first have to explain a little bit about the Sioux.  It's a working class town.  Normally not that big of a deal.  But what makes the Sioux interesting is that it's a uniquely sized working class town.  Sioux City is big enough that multiple social classes exist, but small enough that they must coexist.  Unlike larger cities, all social classes of the Sioux use the same library, post office, churches, etc.  They can't avoid one another.  And this results in interesting and amusing situations.

While driving yesterday, I went through one of the Sioux's lower class residential districts.  It was early evening so lots of people were milling about and enjoying the nice weather.  I was happy to see so many people able to go outside because the weather has been so gross lately.  Then I glanced over to my right and saw something completely unexpected.

A small, elderly Asian man wearing a sweatshirt from my now-extinct Catholic grade school.

That's right.  The man was wearing the exact same sweatshirt that poorly dressed teacher had been wearing, which is also the same sweatshirt I wore as a third grader.  Are children no longer allowed to wear this outfit?!  Does no one realize that children are the very people this sweatshirt was initially intended for?!  I have serious concerns that so many individuals are wearing kids clothes.  I think it indicates frightening things about our society. 

In all actuality, I'm sure this man just bought this sweatshirt at the local bargain center, a popular clothing donation spot for Catholic school moms.  The situation made me laugh because I think it's hilarious that these clothes would reappear again.  Only in the Sioux.
