Drabble #5

I much prefer buttons. I know I didn’t really have a choice, but I like buttons, and I’m happy I’m a button dress. Zippers are fun and attractive and make that terrific noise, but they’re risky. I’ve never yet seen a dress with a broken zipper get fixed. You lose a button, it’s pretty easy to find another one. ten minutes later you’re out the door. You can even utilize a safety pin. but a zipper … the zipper breaks, and you might also resign yourself to being crumpled and forgotten in the bottom of the mending basket forever.
