A Brief Note on Laundry....

GP is getting way too picky... so he tells me, "I need fresh underwear". I tell him, "There are fresh undies in your drawer". He says, "we're all out!" I say, "NO you're not. I put them there just yesterday. I'll get them." Up I go and sure enough he has half a dozen "fresh underwear" (GP need not wait to have dirty underwear, he likes "fresh underwear", about three times a DAY! Thankyouverymuch!) So anyway, I come down and hand him a pair of "fresh" underwear, and he says, "NO. I need fresh underwear." And he is starting to get distressed.
I say "GP these are FRESH, I just washed them ." And he says, "I Need WHITE fresh underwear!"
OMG! I could not help but laugh and...I asked him, "BUT what's wrong with these? He says, "Those are PINK; those are GIRL'S underwear!" HAHAHAHA. I cannot believe my son, who can wear plaid over plaid, red shirts with green pants (just a string of lights short of a Christmas Tree), is now getting picky about the color of his underwear.
WHAT? So I washed a red placemat with the undies...there are ALWAYS undies in there! How the heck was I supposed to know it would turn his undies pink?
I would tell him about all the undie-less children who would kill for a pair of FRESH PINK undies but somehow I don't think it will help my case so off to the basement I go to fish out the White fresh underwear... somedays, I just can't win. Sigh~!

  2. Oh my goodness that is SO funny!!!! The laughs never end at your place - he is priceless! And I agree with him - a teenage boy shouldn't have to wear pink undies if he doesn't want to! LOL!!!

  6. There was some pink underwear at my house many years ago. Neither my husband or son was very happy with their pink underwear. With a few washes you couldn't even tell it! You're right....somedays...... :-)

  9. I enjoyed your post so much, I know it strikes a note with so many parents out there. I have had similiar conversations with him over pink undies! My son was much more of a fashion diva than my daughter ever was. Thanks for the big smile today!

  12. At least he changes them!!! No self respecting boy will wear pink (I have 3 sons, so I'm well aware of that fact). I think they are afraid of pink or something - Hee Hee!
