Going Commando
Thanks to all for the title suggestions. I’ll see what combination I can come up with.
Yesterday morning I was cleaning my son’s bathroom, putting away pajamas and so on, when I found a pair of underwear stashed behind the toilet. I’m thinking, ah well, he must have forgotten to put those in the dirty clothes last night.
Wait. He’s three. I am the one who put away all clothes last night. That’s the pair of underwear I laid out for him to wear this morning. So if he’s not wearing those, then what is he wearing?? :confused2: I try to rationalize. Maybe he didn’t want to wear the tighty-whities. Maybe he really wanted Spiderman underwear. But the maternal instinct lurking tells me that my first suspicion is the right one.
That’s right. My firstborn is going Commando. :banana: Not wearing underpants. Free-balling it, as my husband calls it. :confused:
So then I think–My God! What will the daycare workers think? I will definitely win Bad Mother of the Year! I get on the phone to dial his teacher and ask if he’s wearing underwear. She promises to check and remarks, “He wasn’t wearing underwear on Friday either. We were wondering about that.”
::thunk:: (Michelle passes out in horror) No one told me this!! And worse, there’s a pattern here? He’s done this before??
That’s it. No more unsupervised dressing. Underwear inspection Every Morning, by God. :angry:
P.S.–10 pages yesterday on the new wip! :thumbsup:

Its a boy thing. My five year old would prefer to just wear Nothing all the time. Much easier to reach down there and play anytime, you know.
sigh.:banghead:

:coffee: I’m here early AM reading your note and almost spew coffee on the monitor. Too funny!
Haven’t come across that problem …yet.:grin:
Now, watering the flowers whenever the urge strikes, no matter where they are and who’s around, …now that I have a dilemma with…:duh:
Any suggestions????
kacey Says:
I guess a “boys will be boys” comment isn’t too helpful???
Buy some boxers. See if he likes those better…

:confused2: OMG Michelle! :rotfl:
Yay for the ten pages you wrote :cheer:
Silma Says:
Your son is a very liberated young man. Already going commando to school! That’s not a problem now. Wait till he turns 13.
Oh, and congrats on your progress on your WIP. :dance:

WTG on those ten pages, Michelle!

LOL. It’s summer. Maybe he likes the breeze
Steph T. Says:
OMG – LMAO!!!!!!!!! Absolutely hysterical…:lol:
Melissa Says:
Michelle! This is hilarious! I wonder why he doesn’t like to wear underwear? I kept thinking of Joey on “Friends” when he wears all of Chandler’s clothes and announces he’s “going commando!”
Kelly Says:
Omigosh, that’s hilarious! :rotfl:

WOOHOO for the ten pages! WAY TO GO! :rocker:
And I have a girl child who is older than three who does NOT like clothes. Period. Exclamation point. UH UH.
I’m thinking it stems from me letting her run around nekkid all the time when she was little. At the house, of course. She can strip down in 2.3 seconds flat. LMAO

ROFL!!! :rotfl:

Well, perhaps commando is just going to be the little guy’s way of life. The Bay-ster likes to wear only her underwear. I am officially a mean mom for making her wear clothes. I have visions of her working as a stripper or moving to a nudist colony when she grows up. I’m told that underwear weirdness and nudity are a phase children go through. The 17 year old boy finally stopped at puberty, the 14 year old girl never went through it, the 4 year old girl is still in it, and the 1 year old has not shown any signs, but she’s also not figured out how to take off her clothes yet.

Sounds like something my 3yo would try. But he hasn’t yet…so tell your guy not to give my guy any ideas!! :confused2:
Jessie Ferguson Says:
LOL!!! I’m sorry that’s not funny, but it kinda is. What a great story (realizing, of course, that this is in fact real life)! Congrats on the WIP though!! Man, I wish I could write that much in one day.
