Just getting dressed for a day out with DGS5 and discovered my knickers didn't fit. After a few tries I looked at them properly. They belong to DGD4 who is 12 and very slim.

I am 76 and not very slim!

I was about 18 and on the dance floor with my friends. Mavis laughed and asked me if it was my bra that was just by my feet. I looked down and recognised it immediately. I'd dressed in a hurry to go out, put a fresh bra on, but somehow the old worn bra must have been hanging on to my vest before falling off to the floor.

I love it when I put yesterday's jeans on and find yesterday's knickers are still in one of the legs, and have to surreptitiously get them out and put them in my baggrin

Mine came down my leg in the doctor's waiting room.

I have been known to run out of clean knickers - all in the wash or still drying - and have borrowed a pair of dh’s M&S Y fronts.
So comfortable by comparison!

Very funny Kitty.
Not much chance of that happening here, all my teenage granddaughters wear bits of string instead of knickers!

I once went to work wearing one navy blue shoe and one black one. Identical in all other respects! They looked ok in the dim bedroom light when I got them out of the wardrobe, but very noticeable in our well lit office.

I was just about to write the same thing, I had bought identical style in two colours and the Deputy Head kept grinning at me during the early morning briefing, eventually she nodded down for me to see.
Children are very observant too, I had three suits for work, Mon/Tue, Wed/Thu and a Fri that I didn't like much. One Wed getting dressed I managed to break the zip so I wore the horrible Fri one. It was a school of about 1000, the number of pupils who said on the corridor Why are wearing your Friday suit?, most of whom I'd never taught, was amazing. One boy said he's d convinced himself it was Friday and was disappointed to realise it wasn't the weekend tomorrow.

My dear little granddaughter who is 5-6 told me she knows exactly how old she is because it is in the back of her pants.

It made me smile.......does this make me 38 rather than 70 then?

A boy once told his mother that his new teacher was 36, but his mother knew she was much younger and asked him why he thought she was 36. He told her she had taken her cardigan off and he'd seen the label with her 'age' on it.
