"I'll be the first person to admit that I'm not exactly the most learned, and when it comes to things that I don't think I'll ever understand, I don't exactly make the biggest effort to go out of my way to learn the history. Which, I know, makes me forever ignorant or something." She waved her hand dismissively, but it held true— in the grand scheme of things, when it came to fashion choices or mentalities that she just couldn't align with, Sookie didn't make a habit of familiarizing herself with them unless it stood the chance of affecting her directly.
