Drabble #5

I much prefer buttons. I know I didn’t really have a choice, but I like buttons, and I’m glad I’m a button dress. Zippers are fun and sexy and make that great 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 use a safety pin. But a zipper … the zipper breaks, and you might as well resign yourself to being crumpled and forgotten in the bottom of the mending basket forever.
