Me and my old coat, by author, Amanda Payne

This ugly brown coat is over 16 years old. The elbows are worn thin. The fuzz around the sleeves and hood is not as fluffy as it once was. The zipper is a bit tricky, and the size is a bit bigger than the tag indicates.

The fact is, this coat looks messy and shabby, but it’s mine.
