It was the largest sweater I had ever owned. It could have fit a professional wrestler. By today's standards, it would be considered a "Cosby" sweater. I have no idea how my Grandma, who was excellent at crocheting, grossly miscalculated the size of my twelve year old upper body. Regardless of how it happened, my Mom made me wear it. Oh well, it's the thought that counts. At least that's what I said every time I wore the sweater that tucked into my boots to school.
