Granny panties in Aisle four!

To celebrate the fun of the past few weeks, Jason and I did something very exciting.

We went to Target. To buy Jason new underwear.


I know. Try to hold yourself back.


So we're standing in Target in the underwear section. And I say to Jason, from across the aisle,

"Hey babe? What kind of underwear was it you liked?"

He didn't answer me.

So I thought, logically, he didn't hear me. So I said, even louder,

"Jason? What brand did you like?"

He still didn't respond, so I said, quite loudly, "JASON! WHAT KIND OF UNDERWEAR DID YOU WANT?"

Jason walked around the aisle and gave me a distinct, "OH MY GOD WOULD YOU SHUT UP?" kind of look.

I don't see that from him frequently. But I know it when I see it.

"What?" I asked.

"WHAT KIND OF UNDERWEAR DID YOU WANT STEPHANIE?" he asked, loudly.

And it became clear to me that my husband, standing in the middle of the UNDERWEAR AISLE AT TARGET was completely mortified that I was asking him WHAT KIND OF UNDERWEAR HE WANTED.

At Target. In the underwear aisle. As though everyone there was not ALSO BUYING UNDERWEAR or THINKING ABOUT BUYING UNDERWEAR.

So I said, quite loudly,

"YOU KNOW I DON'T WEAR ANY UNDERWEAR JASON! GOD!"



He doesn't think I'm funny at all.

HAHAHAHA! I was in Kmart when I was a teenager and my mom did the same thing. She was like "Sabrina, what size bra do you wear?"...like really loud. It was embarassing. Seriously.

AWESOME!!! Good job with the quick thinking too! And why is it that guys get embarassed about that stuff? Like buying my tampons...someone might see him, and what? think they're for him?

haha! Aren't men funny? I had a similar incident years ago when we had only been married about 3-4 years. I told my husband I was going to order him some underwear from the catalog and he got all indignant and went "I am a grown man! I can buy my OWN UNDERWEAR THANK YOU!". On went the shoes and he was out the door.

About 30 mins later I got a phone call and when I answered he whispered "what size underwear do I wear?"

He's NEVER lived that one down.

I just freaked out my husband by suddenly laughing out loud. While alone in my office.

He so doesn't get the funny blog friends thing.

Bwahahah!

Tamar said...

Now I want to know what kind of underwear Jason wears that he had to be embarrassed about it. 'BANANA HAMMOCK THONGS, STEPHANIE! SEE IF THEY HAVE 'EM IN LEOPARD PRINT!'

HAAAAAAAAAAAH. You're awesome. I'm going to pee myself from laughter (and excitement) when I read your book, I just know it.

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!

In a former life, I worked in a department store, sometimes in the women's lingerie department. A woman came in with her teenage daughter to buy panties. The daughter had picked out some, but the mother said she needed to get cotton ones instead. In a loud voice, the mother announced "If you wear those kind of panties you could get a vagina infection."

The daughter somehow dug a hole into the floor of the store and simply disappeared, never to be heard from again.

HAHAHA!

Inquiring minds want to know...what kind did he buy?

Mrs. Booms said...

I'm pretty sure that me and my Jason have had this same experience.

He never thinks I'm funny.

Lynnbug said...

Awesome!

SJINCO said...

Well, I think you are super funny and I totally laughed at that!!

Sounds like something my husband would do to me in the feminine hygeine aisle at Target when he's asked very loudly (on more than a few occasions) from an aisle or so away what kind of tampons I needed.

My.God. FUNNY.

Sarcasta-Mom said...

NGS said...

I would never have the guts to say that out loud. Awesome!!!

Unknown said...

Great answer. You are far braver than I.

Robyn said...

Thank you for making LOL at my desk!

In Jason's defense, I'm just as immature when in the "feminine products" aisle. Where MY husband will yell to me, WHAT KIND OF TAMPONS DO YOU LIKE???

I feel Jason's pain.

Underwear brings me out of lurk mode. I'm so pathetic. But I just about fell off my chair reading this!! Something I would do to my hubby except Gregg would not have answered at all and just walked away.

Heather {Desperately Seeking Sanity} said...

So totally something I would do... :D You crack me up.

And way to go on the book. I was notified on Friday that Soliloquy bought it for me for my birthday.. so now I get to celebrate my birthday again when it comes!

I can't wait to read it! Oh and the question you asked me on my blog a gazillion years ago? I've answered it. It will be up tomorrow.
So happy for you!
