Anyone who knows me pretty well knows I absolutely love and adore my family. So maybe that is the reason why I find most things they do hilarious. I'm sure we are not funny to anyone else but ourselves, but whatever. On a recent visit with my momma my sister told me the following story.
Sis: I walked into the kitchen the other day, momma was washing a dish or something and she looks all excited. She goes, "Marci Marci, look at my new shorts! Do you think this is the new fashion or something?"
Mom: Well, I picked up a pair of new running shorts the other day. I usually try them on...I usually try everything on, but I picked them up, held them out, and they looked fine. So, I brought em home.
I went to go put them on, they looked fine but they felt funny. So I turned them around.
Sis: So I'm looking at mom in these shorts and they are blatently backwards. No doubt about it, backwards.
Mom: Yeah so I had been running all over town in these shorts. Shopping, ... (sister interruption)
Sis: Like the back was shorter than the front.
Mom: I thought it was a new style.
Sis: The drawstring was even in the back. (laughing hysterically now)
Mom: Yeah, I brought them home, tried them on with the drawstring in the front, the logo in the front, and the pocket in the back. But it didn't feel right. So I turned them around and just went running. I though it might be a new style or something.
Well, what actually happened was that I had them on right the first time, but the underwear was sewn in wrong. ... so of course I turned them around because they were uncomfortable. I mean, who sews the underwear in wrong?!
So we go to the store and explained that I needed new shorts. The store lady said she had a bunch in the back, but Im thinking if one of the liners is sewn in wrong, they all have got to be. It's an assembly line ya know?
So sure enough, they were all fine, and I just picked up the only backwards pair.
End Story
Maybe this isn't as hilarious as when they were telling it, but think about that. I mean, that would really f* with your head! You know you're right when you put them on, but something doesn't feel right and you know it. I mean, what a great April fools joke. Plus that fact that my mom just went with it, like, yeah, this must be a new fashion. Agh, I love it.
