Crikey - that was scary!

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.

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.

Love that LauraNorder and the more I say it to myself the more I chuckle 😂

bits of string 🤣🤣

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

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!

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

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 bag

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.

sorry but I am laughing xxx

I have black rings under my eyes so use a concealer to cover them before going to work. Leaving the car park after work I looked in the read view mirror to reverse out of my parking spot to see streaks of concealer not blended in under my eyes. I can not believe no one told me though it did give me a laugh.

A few years ago I bought some new jeans for both DH and myself. A few days later I commented to him that I was so pleased they had started making women’s jeans with larger pockets so I could fit my mobile in. He said “About time”. Sadly they were his I was wearing. Mine had pockets as small as they had ever been and still are.

One Monday morning at his workplace (he was a Senior Manager), someone pointed out that he had pink fingernails!

He arrived on his ward round wearing a long pearl necklace.

All the stories have made me laugh 😂
However these two made me think that nowadays, no-one would bat an eyelid!

I too wore odd earrings to work - I was into enamel design earrings -totally different design, one was red, the other blue. No-one said a thing.
Another time I spent the day with just one earring in - must have been a hard start to the day!

I was chairing a work meeting for the first time. My boss, who usually did that, went with me or moral support. As we got out of the car on arrival at the venue, he said, ‘you might want to remove your earrings’. Curious, I did, and they were odd - both gold, but one was round and the other was oval. Good job my boss tipped me off! Some men would have been embarrassed to say that to a middle aged lady!

This has just reminded me of my knicker moment. I was on holiday in New York with my mum and sister. I had a habit of taking jeans and knickers off together and had removed them in the bathroom and put pjs on. When I came out mum and sis had fallen out sis had stormed out and I was sent to find her. I put my jeans back on got in the lift with 2 young men, next floor down 2 young girls got in looking like supermodels. Carried on, found sis and went back up in the lift. Walking towards our room I saw something mysterious outside our floor way down the corridor. Turned out to be my knicks! I’m only grateful they didn’t emerge in the lift 😂

I did that as well - except I didn't notice until I went out lunchtime and was getting back into the car! Nobody else had noticed either until I said about it when I got back into the office.

Opposite of OP I treated myself to some new knickers while shopping at Sainsbury's. Saw the size 10s and brought them home only to find, on donning my specs, I'd bought size 18! I've taken to wearing big pants lately, but not that big!!!!

I love these 🤣

Mum's knickers decided to give up during a Scottish Country dancing demonstration. They dropped around her ankles so she danced out of them and continued!

I can only say one thing in response "Fabulous darling!" 😎

I thought that I was the only one .
I went shopping with one brown court shoe and one navy -same style so they felt the same .
I laughed about it .
The very next day I did exactly the same ,but varied the shoes by swapping them round.
I didn't laugh.
I thought oh dear what's wrong with me aged only 33 !
I am absent minded .
My mind is always spinning with ideas for Art or writing.
Since then before going out I not only have the old Russian habit of praying,but I now double check everything.

My son is a hospital consultant. One morning he spent some time amusing his toddler daughter with her “dressing up” box. , He arrived on his ward round wearing a long pearl necklace. His colleagues noticed but let him wear it all morning before telling him!

When my 3 DDs were at home each one had a particular coloured thread tagged onto the label of their white M&S knickers. But they had to have the light on to see what colour. It was the same for the white socks.

I had a lunch about four years ago and wore my new animal print dress .
No one said anything. It was inside out .
A few years back I went to a dance party and felt uncomfortable.
A prickly hair roller had attached itself to my shoulder.
But the story which amuses me the most is that of a flamenco dancer who did a long and very dramatic dance in a long dress with a train-a colin .
As the performance continued she felt increasingly irritated by the tittering from the audience .
A bra had attached itself to the hem at the back and was being flung into the air each time she twirled her skirt dramatically.
