I Wear Short Trousers

I wear shorts whenever it's warm enough. This year that was between around April and Early October
As boy growing up I wore shorts until age 14. They were compulsory at school until age 12 but my mum kept me in them until 14. Some boys were kept in shorts until 16.
Parents often punished boys by putting them back in shorts when they were naughty.

I do wear shorts now.

I grew up hating shorts, perhaps through having to wear them for school until I turned 13 and was about to go into the Third Year, when it was all long trousers.

It's only in the last decade or so I've started to wear shorts again, when warm enough - I feel the cold rather badly in my legs and feet. Sometimes, even my old school PE shorts, which had survived by a quirk of domestic history!
