The great saree debate

Home has become a 'pattimandram' of sorts. Interesting discussions on whether to discard 9 yards saree in favour of a six yards one is on. Actually we have a guest at home ; my aunt who dropped by some days back.She has done the 'brave' act of switching over to wear a six yards saree from a nine yards outfit at the ripe age of 80+. While it has left most of the world unperturbed, the same cannot be said of her sister who lives with us.She is terribly exercised about the whole issue.Everyday I hear them in animated conversation on this topic.As is usual with every argument, both the parties stick to their side.
Now for more insights.
Aunt 2)I had to switch over as i fell sick and could not muster the energy to tie this never ending outfit.
Aunt 1)But you must be feeling very awkward after wearing it in that style for 70 odd years?
Aunt 2)No, 6 yards saree is quite convenient. I recommend that you also switch over.
Aunt 1)I do agree that wearing a nine yards saree is cumbersome, but what about all the 9 yards sarees i have. They will go waste.
Aunt 2)It can be easily solved. I cut away the extra length and gave it to my grandchildren to stich nice skirts with it.
Aunt 1) Did not catch what her sister said and continued to maintain that she does not believe in wasting stuff,so will carry on with the tried and trusted.
Aunt 2)falls silent

Same conversation picks up after a gap of a couple of hours.This time the trigger was a latest movie song sequenceon the tv where the heroine is wearing a 'seemingly' nineyards saree in the most grotesque fashion.

Some time later my parents drop by and that becomes an occasion to raise the 'great saree debate'.
It is good fun and soothing to be with 80+ old ladies!
