Mom's secret cache

I kept wearing the purple tights when I could get some time alone and not get caught.  But I knew that the more I wore them, the more they would get stretched out and my sister might notice it.  Also, there would also be more chances that they might get damaged.

My sister didn't have any other tights that were big enough for me.  It was time to try finding where my mother put her tights.  I knew she had worn some before, but I couldn't remember them very well.  There might have been some in black, white, yellow, and blue... I think.  But where were they, if not in her dresser drawers?

Mom was doing laundry and my sister was downstairs, so I made my way up into the attic.  There were a few old dressers in there, plus some boxes, and an odd looking cabinet with a big door and a small drawer below it.  I rummaged through the boxes first and found piles of shirts, pants, some socks, baby clothes, and not much else.  Next was the dressers.  Same kinds of clothes.  Ah!  The navy blue tights my mother had taken from me years ago!  Alas, they were way too small now.  :-(
