The Lighter Side
Visits: 564 | Posted by: DavidJul 4
After reviewing some of my posts over the last month I have noticed a slight trend toward the serious side of life. Anyone who knows me very well knows that I’m not generally serious for very long. Now I know that’s kind of the intent of the blog, but I think it’s time for the lighter side. So, here’s a story that should make you smile (and it’s all true)…
As you know, I’ve been in the process of losing weight over the past 5 months. I hit my target loss of 60 pounds several weeks ago. One of the few downsides to losing that much weight is the change in clothes sizes. Don’t get me wrong, buying a few new clothes is fun…but an entire wardrobe gets expensive after awhile! But my resourceful wife (who loves to shop) has managed to find great bargains on just about every item of clothing I now have.
A couple of weeks ago I came home to find a new package of underwear on my dresser (one of the items I never really thought about needing to replace until they started falling off…too much information??). At the time, the only problem I could find with the new package was that they were “tighty whities”. I don’t do “tighty whities”. Used to…not anymore.
So I mentioned it to Anita. And that’s when the real problem came up. Turns out we couldn’t return the package. Mind you, I hadn’t opened them yet and was certain she still had the receipt. So what could the problem possibly be??
Get this –> She bought them at The Goodwill!!! My wonderful. adoring, beautiful wife bought me underwear from The Goodwill…still boggles my mind!
Who buys underwear for their husband at The Goodwill (in the package or not)!?!? And who in their right mind would wear them?
In case you’re wondering…no, I don’t wear them!
Happy 4th of July!!

Okay, I have to defend myself here. I would NEVER buy him used undies. I might accidentally turn them pink in the wash (ask him about that one!), but not buy them used. They were new in the package, donated to Goodwill by Target. Also, I took the chance on the tighty whiteys because they were 3 bucks. I was not concerned about the fact they can’t be returned. I’ll just DONATE THEM TO GOODWILL!! -The Wife

Oh, Anita, I must teach the proper shopping technique. First of all, you never buy anything for anyone else, and second of all, you ALWAYS go to the mall to purchase anything – especially underwear!!! My mentoring must begin immediately before you damage your family any further!!
