Over a year ago my adoring husband wrote in his blog about the fact that I purchased underwear for him at Goodwill. You can read that blog here:

The problem is that he didn’t tell the whole truth. The whole truth includes the fact that the underwear was NEW. NEW in a torn package and donated to Goodwill by Target. So people read that blog and some, no doubt, thought I was cheap enough, disgusting enough to buy used undies.
This summer a thought crossed my mind of what would be the perfect revenge. I employed the assistance of my oldest child, who I know is ornry enough to participate and keep the secret. It took several trips to a variety of used goods stores to find the perfect pair. Similar enough to his other underwear to slip by undetected. The right size. Solid color. Used.
An evil smile comes to my face whenever they go through the laundry. It’s been a couple of months now. He’s finding out the same way you are (except those of you I’ve told about my “dirty little secret”).
Hopefully I’ll live to blog another day.

you don’t blog for a year but when you do…it’s a doozy!
this may be the reason he hasn’t seen a deer in the last two hunts.

Thank you for letting the secret out; I thought we were going to have to keep this secret a lot longer. Although if you could have waited until we were all together at Thanksgiving to let him know so we could see his face, it might have been worth the wait.

Nice…i just have two responses:
1) I actually DID mention that they were new in the post. Here is the direct quote (you can look for yourself too): “A couple of weeks ago I came home to find a new package of underwear on my dresser…Turns out we couldn’t return the package. Mind you, I hadn’t opened them yet and was certain she still had the receipt…” I clearly stated that they were new and that i hadn’t even opened the package…not sure what more i could have said to make that clear???
2) Paybacks go both ways…

This is just bringing way too many images to mind that I really don’t want to have!

Okay, so maybe some people might have thought they were new, but you have to admit this is an awesome prank, even by Beth’s standards!
