Articles of Clothing . . Left Behind

First, I doubt there are any men reading my blog but in the off chance there are, please do yourself a favor and read no farther. Really . . and,  you’re welcome!  🙂

Recently Vince went out to let the chickens out one morning. That’s usually my job. But he came in and said “Judy . . is there something  you need to tell me?”  He was holding a pair of my underwear that was out by the front chicken coop. Hmm . . I have no idea how that got there. I figured they must’ve blown off the clothes line one day and I didn’t notice, but I hadn’t had clothes on the line for several days and I couldn’t imagine that as much as I’m in the chicken area, I wouldn’t have noticed them. Totally forgot about the whole thing.

A few weeks later, I was out in the garden and there was a pair of my underwear on the ground!  Wait a minute  . . there’s an 8′ fence around the garden, with barbs on the wire and the wind could not have blown them into the garden without them getting caught on a barb.  I told Vince . . this is really strange! I could see he was beginning to wonder how my underwear was showing up all over the yard.

Yesterday, I was out in the garden, looked down and . . yep, a pair of my underwear!  What the heck? Then I thought . . I wore that underwear yesterday! Then I realized what was happening . . 

A lot of evenings, I have to take a shower before I can even fix dinner, then I’ll take another shower before I go to bed, especially if I’ve gone out in the garden or done anything with the chickens.  Then, when I get up, it’s just barely daylight. Without turning on lights, because Vince is often still sleeping, I’ll grab the clothes I took off, shake them good to make sure there are no scorpions in the pants . . they’re fine to wear outside just to let the chickens out and turn on the sprinklers in the garden. Sometimes I have enough time to wander through the garden before time to come in, shower and get ready for breakfast. 

When I was pulling my clothes off the night before, I was so tired, I was throwing pants, underwear and all in the dirty clothes and not separating them. Then when I would grab the pants to put on the next morning, I was giving them a good shake to get the scorpions out but just enough shake to send the underwear down the leg so after I walked a little ways, the underwear fell out and I never noticed.

Mystery solved . . but I’m still not sure Vince believes my story!  🙂

Too much information . . I know . . but it was a kinda funny story and so typical of my life!

  2. Yah Judy, I’d go with that story too. 🙂 You’re so funny!

  4. You’re braver than me. I’m sure I wouldn’t be able to admit something like that! In the winter, I’m generally up earlier than hubby, and get dressed in the dark. I’ve been known to put a shirt on backwards, or wear two different shoes, but I’ve NEVER found underwear lying around outside!! Too funny!!! 🙂

  6. Makes perfect sense to me. Which probably says something about my sense of humor. =) At first, from the title, I thought this was going to be a play on that series of books … Left Behind. Where the raptured people left their clothes behind. =)

  7. Back in the day when we ALL wore polyester double knit slacks I had a visitor and all of a sudden a pair of her underpants fell out from the bottom of her slacks. Yes, they became caught there due to static electricity. We laughed about that many times.

  8. Likely story! lol This is hilarious. I have had situations of socks in unlikely places which “fell out” of second time jeans but so far not my drawers.

  9. I found this hilarious! Only you Dear Girl, would be brave enough to tell all. LOL

  10. LOL! I love it! And, yes, your explanation does make perfect sense! 🙂

  12. I can top this one Judy! One year I decided to get my daughter some cute undies as her stocking stuffer. I went to Victoria’s Secret with a rain jacket that had Velcro on it and walked around all the tables of undies purchased the perfect ones and walked around the rest of the mall. When I sat down in my car to leave, guess what a pair of undies had “jumped” off the table and was hanging on the front of my jacket! I had just walked though a busy Christmas shopper packed mall with undies on me!

  13. Well, at least you weren’t walking down a city street when the magically appeared! LOL
    Thanks for the chuckle.

  14. Rolling out of my chair laughing. You have the best adventures. Why would any man that reads your blog want to miss this. Hilarious.

  15. Well, I completely understand. I did that little number in a motel one time when my boys were little, and we had 4 other kids traveling with us. My underwear completely disappeared. After numerous trips up and down the stair to get all the luggage in the car and scouring the room, I gave up on finding them…until of course they fell out from my pant leg in the middle of McDonalds. All the kids are now in their 30’s, and love to tell that story! LOL!!!

  16. Now that is funny! I once had a dog bring a pair of my panties to the living room to chomp on while I had company. Ugh. Was very embarrassing because they were not my cutest pair.

  17. I had a pair of undies fall out of my pant leg while I was in the waiting room at the dentist!. I also had a dog who would pull worn panties out if the hamper. We had to put heavy boxes on top to keep him out.

  19. Next time just wink at Vince and say….. “Why yes those are my undies big boy!” Lol!!

  20. Hysterical! Love the comments too. My experience with this event was so tame in comparison
