Whose Are These?
I am not even sure this embarrassed me as much as it made me laugh. I just can not stop laughing about it.
We are on this spur-of- the- moment road-trip to visit my in-laws about 300 miles away. My kids love coming here, but it is just a long trip for a weekend when you’re traveling with this many children. Now that it is summer we figured it was the perfect opportunity to make the trip without school schedules being attached to us.
There are extra beds for everyone to sleep in, but my family seems to migrate to the living room at bedtime on the sofa sleeper, or in the recliners, with the television on. It is summer after all so we just kinda go with it.
After two nights on the sofa sleeper, the sheets needed to be washed as one of the twins had a tiny little accident in the middle of the night. And while I am at it washing the sheets, I might as well wash the towels we’ve used and a few of our dirty clothes so we are not lugging home a suit case of dirty stuff.
Makes sense, right?
Bedtime rolls around again and it is time to make the bed for the pull out couch. I bring the clothes in from the dryer, folded the random towels and articles of clothing that were mixed within, and Garrett helps me make the bed for the couch. Fitted sheet. Top sheet. Blanket. Half the kids and I pile in the bed when it’s done. We’re tired.
Little Matthew is fighting his sleep. I am rubbing his back, trying hard to get him to settle down. He is finally coasting off.
Lenny is sitting in one of the recliners and his father walks in the living room. He spots something on the floor and bends over to to pick it up. The lights are off in the living room so using the glare of the light from the kitchen he can not figure out just what it is in his hands. He is looking. Uncertain. He shows this mystery to Lenny. These yours?
Lenny holds them up trying to use the light from the other room to see what is in his hands. Not mine.
Lenny hands them over to me as I am still patting the baby’s back. These yours?
Oh, these are my blue thongs. Lenny, how did you not know these are mine? I stuffed them in the pocket of my pajama pants and have not stopped laughing.
Thank goodness I did not pack granny panties!
Guess I should be embarrassed, but I just think it is so darn funny.
What is the funniest or most embarrassing thing that has happened to you? Or do you even embarrass easily?
OMG…. that’s a bit much information to put on your site. It was your own family and that embarrassed you? You need to get out more, I could list a ton of embarrassing momnets that put that one to shame. Does it matter what color and if they were thongs or not,maybe you should of just put panties, sounds classier than what you wrote. Just being honest. This is a great family site I love to go to and I print the baking steps so myself and kids can make goodies, hope this section doesnt print up. Please revise alittle.
Boy are we touchy…it’s a clothing article. Only classy people wear thongs because they would not be caught dead in GRANNY PANTIES. Keep it light people….kids know more then you know…thongs, panties, briefs, draws call it what it is. It was not a rated X movie. I have grand children that read it and they asked what are thongs? Answer: .fancy panties that’s all it is……This is a family blog!
I’m on the phone with my mother and my 4 yo brings in a bright gold packet she found with TROJAN written on it. I told her it wasn’t candy and to put it back. A few minutes later my 2 yo comes in making these weird noises. After telling her to stop for the third time she turns to me and says, “I’M TRYING TO BLOW UP A BALLOON MOM!”
My mom and I had a good laugh. She said, “Oh, you’ll have to write that down so that you can tell them that story later.”
I don’t think so. I really don’t want to pay for the therapy…
Sisifo- OMGoodness! That is funny. So glad you can relate.
