so in the meantime you'll have to put up with my stories. wait, let me rephrase that. my ridiculously crazy and absurd but true stories. by the way, I'm currently praying for a more, uh, mundane life. I think I've had about enough excitement for two, make that three lifetimes.
but then what would I blog about? hmmm...good question.
anyway, I'll quit with the rambling and get on with today's feature post.
a couple days ago, the hubby and I had this bright idea to feed the herd their dinner before feeding ourselves. we figured that way we could actually enjoy our meal (what a concept, hey?) without having to quickly shovel in bites of food in between tending to the herd. and to carry on a simple conversation without straining to hear over the noise of the herd chewing and slurping sounded downright lovely.
quite frankly I don't remember what we were even discussing, possibly Gary's latest job venture. I remember he was in the middle of telling me something when all of the sudden I burst out laughing, nearly choking on my piece of General Tso's chicken.
because our idle chat hadn't been the least bit humorous, he looks at me somewhat quizzically and asks, "what's so funny?"
you guys, by now I'm roaring my fool head off.
"do you realize...bwahahaha... that your shirt...heeeheee... is on inside out? or was it "inside out day" at work today?" honk wheeze. (this, coupled with the sleep deprivation from the previous weekend, literally had me rolling.)
like seriously. I can't believe he didn't notice the raw seams showing or that the buttons were on the inside. hello? not to mention the "Merona" label blaring on the back just underneath the collar. I can see this happening to a mentally challenged person but an engineer? snick-er.
he looks down and studies his shirt a bit closer. "well, I'll be. must be a sign of old age, too many kids, lack of sleep, dressing in the dark or all of the above. I'm amazed no one at work said anything."
obviously his work cronies took pity on him by keeping it mum. they probably figured heck, the guy has nine kids, let's cut him a little slack.
oh what next?

PS. does anyone have any embarrassing "clothing" tales to share?

This totally got my funny bone! 1) I can relate 100% with the hysterical laughing. I'll start laughing and can't stop and Pete says "Is it that funny?" Yes, it usually is. 2) I've sometimes asked him "did you wear that shirt to work today?" Yep, all-day-long! Your story was another good laugh over my morning coffee, thanks!
I agree with Becky :)...it's one of the first places I go when I get on fb. Your blog is great! Entertaining and most of us can relate to so much of your life's experiences. Thanks Jessica...keep em' coming!
Even though I knew where this post was going, my giggles burst out as you almost choked on your chicken. (but not because you almost choked!)
Thanks for the laugh :) Was this the same day that Hannah walked in on him? He was probably so frazzled!
Love it! Thanks for the morning chuckle! My girls were laughing with me saying "What, Mom?"
This is hilarious! Yeah - I would have nearly choked too!!
Oh, that's a classic. Keith hasn't quite pulled that one, but skipping a belt loop in the back was a dead giveaway he'd had a long night. He even got the GOMER award at work for missing his loop so many times. Hee, hee.
Chet was about to take off for class the other day with a horrendous, wrinkled, holey shirt complete with bleach streaks. I stopped him dead in his tracks. He still doesn't know what was wrong with it.
inside out shirt, one pant leg halfway rolled up...now I have a son taking after him! that's a good one!
Okay since no one else will admit to a wardrobe malfunction, I will. It's been several years now so I don't remember what the shirt looked like...but I had it on backwards for most of the day. I rescued my co-worker a couple of times - her shirt was inside out once and her zipper was unzipped another time. Poor thing nearly died of embarrassment!
Brenda- you would think that would be the case but, oddly enough, this happened on a different day. LOL
Curt Johnson was attempting to dress 1 morning in the dark and was going to head out in Kristen's maternity shirt, she, fortunately noticed before he got too far!
That really did make my big belly roll. I love it:)
It's 5:30 a.m., I'm in bed rolling with laughter! What a great way to start my day! Once again, thanks Jessica!
That's hilarious!! Can't miss a day on this blog-don't know I might miss this!! :)
OMG I did this!!! In my defense it was a wierd cotton knit that looked the same on both sides and the tag was cut off. But I was working in snooty univ. ofc. at the time and went down the hall to see a friend in the PRESIDENT'S OFFICE!!! I kept telling myself it was early in the day and maybe no one else noticed before friend told me!
I am guilty of this on a few occasions, too. Although I can guarantee you that when I did, my clothes did not have buttons!!! That is fantastically funny. Kellie xx
