Did you ever remember something out of the blue, something you haven’t thought of in years? I find myself remembering lots of little things like this lately. Sometimes I wonder if anyone else thinks things like this. With that in mind I’m going to share one of these memories every Monday. I thought this would be a fun way for you (the reader) and I to get to know each other better. Feel free to join in on your blog if you like. Here’s today’s memory.
Scrubbies.
A scrubbie, or sometimes a scrub, is what my Mom called the marks you have left on your skin after you’ve worn something tight or something with elastic. You might be able to see one in the picture of my fat leg above, left there by my sock today. I used to get them all the time, even before I was obese. I got them from sweat pants and socks mostly.
What did you call those marks?

I had to laugh a little. I don’t have a name for those marks but I get them really bad from socks. I wear ankle socks and apparently my ankles are bigger than average because when I take my socks off before bed there is always the ring and then they are still there in the morning. My boyfriend says I need to buy bigger socks, but my socks range from shoe size 5-9 and my feet are only a 7. So they aren’t too small it’s just my ankles are too big. lol.
I can see where that would be a problem, bigger socks would just be too big. I just wonder what the marks are really called, because I’m fairly sure it isn’t scrubbies.
Scrubbies obviously which is what your grandmother called them as well.
Mom, I did not know that Grandma called them that.
I never knew there was a name for them!
