Handkerchief Report

[personal profile] arcanology, [personal profile] chenoameg, and I all use handkerchiefs. [personal profile] justom does not. Therefore not all graduates of our high school use handkerchiefs. But do _only_ graduates of our high school use handkerchiefs? This I ask of the livejournal community...

(Hmm. I realize now that [livejournal.com profile] justom did not attend our middle school. Perhaps this is the key!)

ps. More random Spanish notes: Handkerchief in Spanish is "pañuelo". Diapers are "pañales". Bedroom slippers, on the other hand, are "pantuflos".

pps. If one doesn't remember the word "pañales", but one desperately needs some, store owners on random streets in Mexico City will, in fact, understand the poor gringo who says "calzoncillos para bebes". And this ends, hopefully, not only random Spanish reports of the night, but livejournal posting from me in general, as I am going to bed!

You'll find your conterexample in my dad, who(m?) I'm pretty sure didn't go to your high school (unless there's a whole lot he's not telling me). He finds it unfortunate that handkerchief usage does not seem to be an inherited trait in our family, but is holding out that it might just be recessive.
