LOL...I had a crush on my 4th grade teacher, Mr. Horton. He was a ginger with a red beard and all the girls would bring him dandelions we picked from the school yard and he'd put them in his beard and wear them there all day. It was the 70s...what can I say?

OMG, I used to have a pair of cuffed pants just like that in the 70s. Same scottish plaid material. I used to wear sweater vests with them. Kind of a Bay City Rollers thing.

Don't tell anyone!
