I'm taking a brief rest from my homework, so I thought I'd tell a story. I don't get a lot of visitors and with the wife and kid gone this past week I've been a hermit. I am usually a hermit anyway, but the last week I took it to a new level. Maybe a comatose hermit or something. Anyway, it's just been me and the dogs for a few days.
The other day I was sitting around probably doing homework or working on an army list, and someone knocked on the door. That is relatively uncommon, but I thought it might be my sister coming to get her mail key or something. I got up and answered the door. It was a couple that go around every so often selling tamales. The lady asked if I wanted to buy any, I declined, and they went on their way. I shut the door, and as I walked back to my desk I realized that I was not wearing any pants. I was wearing my long underwear so it's not like anything was flapping in the breeze for all the world to see, but it's still underwear and it's probably socially unacceptable to answer the door wearing only long underwear and a t-shirt. So now I'm trying to make a habit of wearing pants most of the time, even if I'm not expecting visitors. And maybe I should get out more and interact with the world so I am less apt to make embarrassing mistakes like flashing the tamale vendor.

ReplyDeleteHa ha!You the tamale flasher.
ReplyDeletei laughed aloud to this one.
ReplyDeleteCan't tell you how much that cheered up my day.... I'm surprised they didn't offer a discount on the tamales... :o))
ReplyDeleteAt least you weren't completely half naked and just holding the long underwear in from of you. Lol, my mom was in the car with me when you texted me about it. We had a pretty good laugh. But we were laughing with you, not at you, dear.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the tamale vendor liked it.
