She worked all day in the Texas heat wearing a skirt that went down to the ground. She said one day she got sick of tripping on her skirt so she cut six inches off. The farm owner caught sight of her ankles and threw her family off the property. Then he changed his mind and said they could come back but she had to stay out of sight because it was a distraction. She was given a job in the barn. The farmer came creeping around trying to have his way with her.
Dude saw some ankle and went into heat. Strange times.

I found that asking about the pictures brought forth stories. For instance, my great uncle Ellis wasn’t related to me which I did not know until I pointed at him in an old pic. My grandfather heard from his sons that Ellis’s dad was sexually abusing the boy, Papaw confronted him, a battle ensued, my grandfather killed him,(in self defense). Then he invited the orphaned boy to live with his family. And the law didn’t give a fuck. Great story, and if I had’ t pointed at a guy and asked ‘who’s that’, I never would have known my Papaw cut a pedos throat.

Also that chart is inaccurate: for one plenty of dresses/skirts above the knee during the 20s/30s. It doesn't go up to mini skirt (which should be a lot higher than knee length or the highest blip on that chart) which was big in the 60s IIRC.
Floor length Maxi dresses were big during the GFC. Midis are pretty popular right now (mid calf for a true midi but it varies a little)
