I have a little "shorty" of my own to share. Last week's hilarious story by Maxine Wright reminded me...

"Pannies on the Bus"
by Susan Fahncke

When I was a single mother, I attended college full-time and worked part time to make ends meet. I was constantly tired, which left me open to many goof-ups.  One winter morning, bleary-eyed from studying all night, I dropped Nick off at school, and Maya off at her "Pretty School" (to this day she thinks that's the name for pre-school.), then rushed to park in the free parking lot and catch the shuttle bus to Weber State University, where I was a big, bad Senior, majoring in the prestigious and respected field of Psychology. 

Half asleep, I was curled up in my bus seat, when I noticed a weird lump in my pant leg. (Winter in Utah comes with static that will stick your hair to the ceiling.) Curious, I pulled up my pant leg and grabbed a hold of what was stuck to my sock.  Black, lacy "pannies", in all their glory adorned my leg. 

My face crimson, I tried to stuff them in my jacket pocket before anyone else saw.  Static seems to be especially strong in silky things, and my undies then attached themselves to the bus seat, and then fell to the floor.  My face burning and red, I covertly glanced around to see if anyone was looking. The entire bus was gaping at my silky underwear lying on the floor.

As cooly as I could, I grabbed them up and nonchalantly stuffed them in my pocket, as if flinging one's panties about the bus was an everyday occurance. I stayed on the bus the entire loop back to my car and drove home, giving myself the day off. The shuttle bus driver never looked me in the eye or said a word to me, but his face was as red as mine.

Kid Shorties: Author Unknown - Sent in by Kathe Campbell


Ever notice how a 4 year old's voice is louder than 200 adult voices?  Several years ago, I returned home from a trip just when a storm hit, with crashing thunder and severe lightning.  As I came into my bedroom bout 2 a.m., I found my two children in bed with my wife, Karey apparently scared by the loud storm.  I resigned myself to sleep in the guest bedroom that night.
 
The next day, I talked to the children, and explained that was OK.  to sleep with Mom when the storm was bad, but when I was expected home, please don't sleep with Mom that night.  They said OK.  After my next trip several weeks later, Karey and the children picked me up in the terminal at the appointed time.

Since the plane was late, everyone had come into the terminal to wait for my plane's arrival, along with hundreds of other folks waiting for their arriving passengers.

As I entered the waiting area, my son saw me, and came running shouting, "Hi, Dad!  I've got some good news!"

As I waved back, I said loudly, "What's the good news?"

"Nobody slept with Mommy while you were away this time!" Alex shouted.
 
The airport became very quiet, as everyone in the waiting area looked at Alex turned to me, and then searched the rest of the area to see if they could figure out exactly who his Mom was.

An acquantaince of mine who is a physician told this story about her then 4 yr.  old daughter.  On the way to preschool, the doctor had left her stethoscope on the car seat, and her little girl picked it up and began playing with it.

'Be still, my heart,' thought my friend, 'my daughter wants to follow in my footsteps!' Then the child spoke into the instrument:  "Welcome to McDonald's.  May I take your order?"

Dear Susan,
Oh My gosh - I laughed and laughed at Maxine's story about her "slip up"!  I think embarrassing things like that are so funny because they happen to so many of us!  Way to go Maxine! Your sense of humor is as great as your inspirational stories are!
