Such vivid thoughts

 

[Beer can]

Son #3 was saying how he would be happy to have new undergarments...

He said the boxers I bought are made of such thin material that all you have to do is walk across the room and the back rips wide open, which doesn't really matter since there are so many holes in the front that they are really just a "suggestion" of underwear.

He said he didn't like the short boxer briefs that I had bought him....because his, achem, "junk" dangles further down than there is fabric. He says that this also defeats the purpose of underwear.

He says that there are still a few pairs of boxer briefs that cover all parts, but they bunch up between his legs and chafe.

He said it would be nice to own underwear that actually covered all parts and did not chafe.

He then told me about the page in the Duluth Trading Co. Catalog where they were selling the perfect pair of boxer briefs, for over $23 EACH!!


I almost ran off the road. I laughed so hard.

I told the child that commando was the only way to go, and that I had NEVER owned a pair of underwear that cost that much.

He said he couldn't go commando.. the inside of carhartts were too rough.

I said fine, make yourself a kilt and go commando.

He said that he is disinclined to follow my suggestion.

Boxers...
My FIL, that's all he wears most the time in their bakery, wood fired oven in the summer it's hot! He's pretty close to 80 now though you wouldn't guess it, looks pretty dang good for his age and still works hard and still likes to drink beer, love the guy. One of our niece's asked one time "Why does grandpa always wear his shorts crooked?" Lol!
Umm, he doesn't normally but when people visit he twists them sideways, so his 'junk' doesn't fall out
She's a adult but still, you should've seen her face lol!

Alaskan, remember.....someday this child will have to choose a nursing home for you.....buy him the 23$ underwear. It's cheap insurance!

nope... can't happen....

a week worth of underwear, for 5 kids, at 23 bucks per pair?

No way could that happen.

No way does a single pair of underwear need to cost that much.

I am just stunned that he asked for Underware.... I had to drag it out of my boy to find out if he needed anything new.

Good point....

Ravyn had a good suggestion.... have him sew his own.



you can learn anything off of youtube.

my poor boys are abused..... they know that in general, if they don't ask, they don't get.

Also, there are no underwear sold at the used clothing stores in town...so it has been eons since they have gotten new ones.

@Alaskan
I bet he's looking at the performance boxer briefs? Whatever they're called. I see a lot of men wearing them now, like boxers but tighter fitting and a lot longer. Shop around online, I bet you can find them a lot cheaper than that.
