Blame it on Age

When I was younger , I mean very young … I would be so embarrassed by my parents .. I know we all go thru that stage . One of my most awkward moments are when my friends come home and my dad will be in his whitey tighties walking around the house , no sign of remorse nor embarrassment at all … Actually having decent conversations with my girlfriends … I wanted the earth to swallow me whole … Then . 

After a few incidents , I became friendly with my next door neighbor who is European , I would go playing with her in her home . I would happen upon her dad … Too in his whitey tighties … Pls remember this was before the time of the boxers , I then thought … Hmmm maybe this is a common thing ? 

When I had kids , they had play dates and I had to send my son to a play date , I insisted on getting out of the car to greet the parents , in their house. I went down , into the house and the dad was standing there .. In his whitey tighties …. Ummm , I did make the fastest turn around and muttered something I don’t even remember now under my breath , something like ” thank you ” ! Hahah 

Many years ahead … Now , I realize that when I get home at the end of the day … The first thing I do is to take off all my clothes and wear a big T shirt … And of course .. My whitey tighties … 
I Blame it on age . I feel most comfortable now with an old T – shirt , ragged sweats .. And my old old blankie … While I just rot on the sofa .. Watching Chicago PD …. Such is my bliss nowadays .

Last summer , I had some incidents with my kids … Them sort of late bloomers .. Getting into trouble in their 20 ‘s . I was stressed out sitting in my TV room at around 2 am thinking about the kids , in my old T shirt and panties …. Then my son’s best friend walks into the room to try to make me feel better …. I quickly put a pillow on my lap and point down saying …. 

“Yo , I’m not properly dressed” …  To which he replied , ” don’t worry I don’t mind ” …
Ummmm … To which I thought , yo , I mind !!! 
To those who always makes fun of their parents or hate on their parents … A word to the wise …. We all come full circle … We become our parents .
