Underwear...

Believe it or not, I actually have two stories that involve underwear. For some reason, this can be a very awkward topic. Who knew.

Last week, my landlord called to tell me that he would be bringing people by to look at our house to rent. He said they would be coming at 10:30 on Wednesday, which was fine since I would be at school all day. Roommate 1 would be in class and roommate 2 would be at the house. Later that week he called back while I was at school and left a message saying that he would be bringing the people by on Saturday because of the impending snow/ice storm. Ergo, I did not clean my room or even make my bed Wednesday morning. When I checked my phone at lunch, I had a text from roommate 2 who had a rather rude awakening when our landlord began knocking on the door as she was getting out of the shower. Oops. Did I mention that I hadn't made my bed that morning? Well, I also hadn't bothered to move my dirty clothes. That's right, not only was roommate 2 caught off guard, but my underwear was sitting on my bed when prospective renters came through. And they were boys. At least there's no way they could know who I am. Oh wait, I have pictures all over my room? Yep, that's right. How awkward.

He's bringing more people by this afternoon, so today my room is spotless. I hope this will erase all misconceptions he has of my hygiene skills.

And now for the second of the underwear stories. As I mentioned, I am student teaching in Kindergarten this semester. Last week, one of my students complained that her underwear felt kind of funny. She went to the bathroom to check it out and when she came back she had figured it out. They weren't both the same size.

That's right, she was wearing 2 pairs of underwear, because as you know, a pair is two. A pair of shoes, a pair of gloves and yes, a pair of underwear. I found out later that the class had read a book about pairs the week before when I was not there, thus explaining the pair of underwear incident. I love the way little kids think! That and the insanity of the English language keep me rather entertained.
