Confession: Wrong Panties
Gather around, ladies as I make a confession.
Ready?
I can't seem to buy the right kind and size underwear for my kids. I have seven kids and I still haven't gotten this down.
My older girls would be so embarrassed of my even mentioning the underwear woes, so if you know us personally, please don't tell my girls that you read my blog post about their underwear! {smile}
My girls are getting bigger everyday. In fact, my eleven year old daughter wears the same size clothes as me and she is taller by 1/2 an inch! eep!
About a year ago, they were needing some new panties. I keep all my girls in the granny panties. If they want the cute stuff when they leave the house, fine, I pay for grannies until then. I rushed off to Wal-mart to buy some. I really had no clue what size underwear to get them without them along. I went to the ladies section and thought, "Okay, they both wear size 14 clothes (girls), so size 14 should be good."
For weeks after that, my girls were complaining that their underwear were too big.
I told them they needed to wash them more regularly and they'd fit better.
Then they'd complain that their underwear were so big that the only thing keeping them up were their pants.
I poo-poo'd it, hmmm...no pun intend. {giggle}
One time they thought they'd demonstrate just how big they were by putting them on the toddler and tying on huge knot in the back.
Funny!
Still didn't believe them. It's just a ploy to get new panties.
One evening, we were folding clothes as a family. Chloris finally had enough.
She said, "Mom, we really need new underwear! SEE!!!"
She holds up the largest pair of underwear I had seen in my life and I doubled over in laughter on the bed. I couldn't stop. I made my kids wear elephant underwear that I bought them!!!
The next morning we went to Wal-mart and bought the right sized underwear.
When my Maia needed new underwear I made sure we wrote down the correct size before we left the house. My husband and I both double checked the size and felt confident in handing her the package when we got home. {Quit proudly I might add}
WRONG KIND
I bought bikini underwear accidentally instead of the usual ones. She was miserable. Maia has Sensory Processing Disorder and it drove her mad to wear them. They weren't up high enough so she'd pull them up and then end up with a wedgie. She screamed and cried.
I told her to put another pair of her panties on that weren't the wrong kind. She couldn't because they had all been stolen and pooped in by her little sister!!!!!! I give up.
As you can imagine, we had to go get her the RIGHT kind of underwear the next day.
What a pain in the rear end!!! {pun intended}
