Forget jogging shorts. These are so big compared to her that a family of four could use it as a tent while she is wearing them.
"But I don't want my circulation cut off," my mom explained when Des and I laughed and laughed at their nonsensicalness for a person of her size. "They are not big."
"Look at the picture!" I said, handing her the digital camera.
"OH! I guess these are a little big. This really gives it a different perspective." The sense of wonder in her voice made us laugh harder, and she joined us. "Well, after I put them in the dryer they'll shrink right up."
Good luck with that.
I think this was the first step in an intervention. She almost admitted it was a problem, but then later reverted and tried to say that they only look big because she "must have been holding them out," close to the camera.
ReplyDeleteNo, they were held tightly against her body and still looked really really huge.
LOL!!!!Oh my! At my heaviest and most swollen point right after my c-section I sent my husband to Target to buy a few of the biggest panties he could find and he came back with 11s or 12s. (I did not want anything binding or rubbing my incision.) They bagged on *my* ass when I was over 300 pounds.
ReplyDeleteIs this panty week on CUSS?
ReplyDeleteLove you!
Love it! This so reminds me of my mom. She weighed all of 98 pounds and she insisted on wearing ginormous loose undies that could easily have been yanked up to her armpits and still been baggy ... AND she would laboriously cut through the elastic in the waistband at precises intervals around the circumferance so they wouldn't be "tight" and "bind up".
ReplyDeleteShe'd have loved your mom's panties.
