Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for December 09, 2018

forgot your trousers were in the wash, did you, sleepy man?

I hope we’re just talkin’ about underwear.

It’s Wacky Top Wally!!!

we’ve all done it.

Is he worried about his mother in law seeing his polka dot underwear or is he sporting one?

When she says she has “seen it all before”, is she referring to him?

Bachelorhood, baby! Yes!

I don’t own a dirty clothes hamper.

That’s what the washer is for. :D

When I was much younger and trying on clothes in the department store’s dressing rooms, the sales lady would accompany me into the dressing room. Didn’t have a mother to do that, I always hated it, mostly because they would tell me that they have seen it all before. I could not tell them to leave, but always thought: not mine, you haven’t, just like Wally. Always was embarrassed! No one accompanies me into the dressing rooms anymore! I don’t think they do that anywhere anymore either. That is a GOOD thing.

One time, during a storm, my back door blew open! A cop came in answer to the alarm. He came in calling, “Is anyone home?”. I woke up, walked out (nude)! The cop didn’t bat an eye; he just told me what had happened and left! I thought later, “At least he could see I wasn’t armed!”.

Woosha woosha woosha made me think at Tommyknockers in the shed :D

I had just gotten out of the shower when the doorbell rang. I threw on a robe and answered the door. It turned out to be my late mother-in-law’s cousin and her son. Mom had passed a few months before and we were living in her house getting it ready to sell. My husband was at work, and I’d never met these people, but they walked right in and started asking me questions about Mom’s belongings and when were we going to start distributing her things. I explained that my husband was in charge of that and I had just exited the shower. That went right over their heads. They stayed 2 hours, while I followed them around in just a robe (with no sash to tie it) and wet hair. And it was a very short robe, too. I’m sure that the son got an eyeful at least once or twice.

I’ve been in enough medical situations that I finally decided 1) they are Supposed to see it – they might notice something that should be looked at, and 2) as long as they are polite, I’ll show them whatever they want, and hope they enjoy the show…..

Evie, how would you know on men, where is your husband? My husband never goes to the door dressed like that.

My Mother use to say… “If you haven’t seen it before you wouldn’t know what it was. And if you have you’ve probably seen better.”

See what? what passes for underwear is so covering the whole joke is unworkable.

Never could understand about people being embarrassed to be seen in their underwear. Boxer shorts aren’t much different than swimming trunks and some bras and panties cover more than a lot of swim suits I’ve seen some young (and not-so-young) women wear at the pool or beach.

Good answer, Wally!

Then why did she snicker?
