I'm kinda like that, except with jean pants instead of shorts

Same! I had a few leg surgeries as a kid and liked to cover the scars, but even now that they're faded, I like just picking out some jeans and not having to think about it. I've never really had an issue with my legs getting too hot, either, though where I live it's cold more often than not.

Born and raised in California, I was seventeen when I discovered warm clothes existed.

That was when I flew out to see my mother who had somehow ended up in Wisconsin.

I got on the plane, in December, wearing shorts and a T-shirt.

When we landed, it was at a small airport where you have to get off the plane via stairs and walk across the tarmac to the terminal.

It was twenty below zero before taking wind chill into consideration.

I spent that trip wearing her boyfriend's clothes. He was well over three hundred pounds. I was one sixty in a wet towel back then.

Fashion hilarity ensued.

I grew up in Wisconsin. Midwest winters are a primary reason I moved to the West Coast. Even in Washington it doesn't get that cold. I wear shorts and flip flops almost all year. Below 40 I start wearing shoes and pants.

All my shorts have elastic waists.

I’ll never go back to a belt .

No one in my town wears shorts unless there’s a heat advisory, or they’re a tourist.

Which town?

I mean if you're running I don't see a major concern..

Hahaha... Can relate. Visited a brother in the UK during winter from the tropics. So on board I was in jeans and a t-shirt. Only the airport didn't have the boarding tubes, so we had to walk from the plane to the bus, then from the bus to the terminal. I severely underestimated the distance, had no jacket (in my luggage) and was just trying to maintain 'cool' the whole time, controlling breathing and fighting the shivers the whole time.
