At a recent skating competition knowing that arenas are usually cold I donned my jacket before I sat with fellow skating parents, but in my usual style I was wearing flip flops. Seating in this arena however, was atypically warm.
As I sat I noted one parent who had rolled her pant legs up past her knees. As I sat, she said, " Oh it is so hot here, but I see that you are prepared, you are wearing your thong."
The other parents all looked quickly and quizzically at me and at her.
"Oh my goodness," she apologized, " I am so used to calling them thongs in Australia, here you call them flip flops."
