The Chronicles of the Dubious Marriage of My R. and L. Brainedness

. . gentle into that good night . . .

Sometime between going to bed at 12 am and waking at 6 this morning, my panties gave out. No really. They up and died. They used to be microfiber hiphugging jobbies that shrunk after a washing into what looked like Carters underwear for children. Carter's brand slogan just happens to be: 'if they could just stay little for a little while longer.'

"Little' no kidding. This tiny pair fit last night, but this morning . . . I could pull them up over my head and still have coverage in all the imporant places. Gramma's bloomers from her large days were smaller, and sorry Gramma, but that's saying a lot.

So goodbye sad, limp and shapeless skivvies. You always made me feel supported and protected, from begining to . . . end. I'm sorry your demise was so sudden and soon soon.


Ummmmmm . . . .


. . . . amen??

Geez I dont know how to end this. I've never stood over a dead pair of panties in a waste basket before.

The Monkey gave a eulogy for a little tree in front of our house that blew over (and by "blew over" I mean "snapped in two") during this weekend's storms. I'm betting he could give you some tips on saying a "brief" farewell...

...although, on second thought, you'd probably be required to sob and wretch while proclaiming how they were your FAVORITE panties and how you'd miss them EVERY DAY...and then take a picture of them so you could remember them always.

On second thought, maybe we don't want the Monkey giving you advice.

Sob? AND wretch?

How about professional mourners - would the Monkey approve?

P.S. Are donations to the Monkey's favorite charity being accepted in tree's name?
