mama doesn't wear nylons

a friend stopped by on her way home from work. still dressed in her business attire, we stood in the entry talking. i noticed zoom sitting at her feet, closely examining her legs, but continued our conversation.
cautiously, he reached out and touched her leg, then drew back his hand.
she and i exchanged smiles, but didn't skip a beat in our conversation, choosing to wait this one out. he touched her again, tilting his head to the side. i heard him say something to himself, but couldn't understand him. he pinched her a little bit, then pulled away.
then he took both hands and felt up and down her calf.
by this time neither of us could keep from laughing, but he was very serious when he looked up at me and (rather politely i might add) asked,
"excuse me mom, is this carrie's SKIN?!!"
