I picked up Blake from preschool this morning and Linda, the director, pulled me aside and handed me a lunch sack. "This is a pair of your underwear."
I looked down at Blake to see if he was in the same shorts he left the house in, and asked, "Oh. Did Blake have an accident?"
"No, it's a pair of YOUR underwear."
Apparently, in the wash, a pair of my underwear got attached to some velcro on Blake's coat. Since his coat is reversible, the underwear was on the inside of the coat in the morning, but when he put the coat on for recess, he switched it inside-out and the underwear was now flapping behind him like a hood of sorts.
During this whole interchange I could not bring myself to look in the bag and see what underwear it was.
As I left the preschool, I shared this story with my friend, who replied, "Yeah. What if it was a pair of leopard-print G-string underwear?"
I nodded. Yep. . . that is exactly my concern. (And no, that was not what was in the bag.)
I also can't help but assign a small portion of blame to Dave, who grabbed Blake's coat this morning and dropped him off at school. Surely I would have noticed some of my underwear attached to any surface of my son's clothing. Come to think of it, maybe Dave planted it there. Maybe it's retribution for something I've done, or posted.

Yes, I did it on purpose to go along with the funny e-mail I sent to the parents of Michael's first grade class (ask Shelby). If you had a leopard print g-string, that's what I would have attached, but unfortunately it wasn't nearly that exciting.

Thanks SO MUCH for the REALLY good laugh I had when reading that! And now I want to hear about the funny email dave sent...pretty please??
Dying inside for you. Dying.
At least it was clean. I second the vote on an explanation of Dave's email!
Love it! My family had static cling problems in my childhood. My grandma-style underwear accidentally went to the MTC with my older brother. I found out at the airport when his district asked him I was the owner of "the traveling panties." I was 18. It still haunts me. Good luck recovering from this one. I'd like to read what his teacher wrote on her blog.
Hey, catching up on reading blogs and this was a great one to start with! Yikes! Can you switch schools? BTW, I love that family pic that you posted. So beautiful.
OH my goodness, that's embarassing. Did it happen to be your exercise under per chance? Someday it'll be a good laugh, right?
