Womanly adornments (I of II): Polo shirts.

The other day I went to a yuppie resort town on the lake and spent the afternoon walking around the downtown there with my mom. On the drive back, somehow we got on the topic of yuppies, and I found out that every time since me and my brother were kids my mom's gone there, she puts on a bright solid-color polo shirt, usually hot pink, and khaki or white shorts. When I asked her why she did this, she was like, "Because that's what you do when you go to [town name removed]." I pressed her further and she was like, "I figure, when you're in Rome, do as the Romans do."
