Friday Flash 55, "Walmart Surprise"

January 27, 2011

I carried in their Walmart bags.

"What are these?," Grandpa inquired.

"Are they girls' headscarves?," Grandma asked, puzzled.

We stared at them: pink dots, black lace, tiger stripes.

"Uh... Grandma... You brought home the wrong bag. They're underwear!"

Grandpa's face registered a shocked and puzzled look for quite a while.

Fashions change...sometimes a lot!

I'll wear briefs, but FORGET about the thongs!
Loved your 55 Margaret.
I'm glad to see someone more low tech than me!
Thanks for playing, and have a Kick Ass Week-End

I'd take the tighty-whities; you can keep the butt-floss, Margaret. (Actually, I prefer a little color... but that's probably T.M.I.)

Funny 55!

Ha! I've been baffled by the latest trends in underwear myself a few times--they all look terribly uncomfortable--but I suppose that's not the point. Hilarious 55 (and I see you've got the linking thing down--YAY.)
