Buying Quote by Holly Goldberg Sloan

“From my observation, the older you get, the more you like the word cozy. That's why most of the elderly wear pants with elastic waistbands. If they wear pants at all. This may explain why grandparents are in love with buying grand kids pajamas and bathrobes.” quote by Holly Goldberg Sloan
