I JUST CANNOT STOP LAUGHING...underwear?

[momrek06]

DH's mom and her boyfriend (both 78) spend their winters in Texas. He is retired Ct. State Trooper and over the years has been going to TX with other officers and their SO's and spending the winters.

They just got home and DH and our DS went to see them. Gram's bought the boys Texas baseball hats (very nice).

I received a huge jar of honey from a real bee???? Have no clue what I am supposed to do with that as I do not like HONEY at all!

AND DH got a package of (6) "Fruit-of-the-Loom" briefs. He just walked in with them...........WHATTTTTTTTTTTTT.....I am laughing my OWN (word edited) ARE YOU HAPPY NOW? I HOPE SO! off at THIS gift. UNDERWEAR. I just had to POST this......and it gets better, DH thinks this is a LOVELY gift.

FOOTNOTE, DH: your mom and her bf, do NOT need to PURCHASE underwear for ME. I will get my own.

I cannot stop LAUGHING. My son is just starring at me.....

COMMENTS from any DISer's on the underwear gift???!!!!

My DH got a pack of underwear from his mother's best friend at X-Mas. It was the first X-Mas that we were together. My family never gives that type of gift and I was a bit shocked. I guess it's normal in some families.

I only question how they know the sizes. I'm not sure a man in his 30's should advertise to his family what size undies he wears. I was happy they just got me a gift card.

You can tell a mama's boy when mama is still getting him his drawers! LOL!

Hee hee!

guess he's still their little boy!
What an unusual gift!

One year for Christmas, MANY years ago, I can't even remember if DH and I were married yet or not, but his parents bought his sister, and we three daughters-in-law, bikini underwear, in fancy fabrics and colors.

I thought it EXTREMELY odd, almost made me uncomfortable. The SIL I was closest to was very offended and made it clear that she wouldn't appreciate something like that again! I just kept my mouth shut, as the newest member of the family.

I only question how they know the sizes. 30's

I asked DH "how did bf know your size"? DH says actually I think he got them for himself and realized they were not the right size and decided to give them to me? Now is that re-gifting or what would you call that as it was presented as a "GIFT"??? Come on, just RETURN them to TARGET and get your right size...do not give them as a GIFT????

I finding this quite strange.

What if they weren't your DH's size?! Is there another family member to pass them onto? How do you not know your own underwear size?!?

This is funny....I thought DH's family was the only one and I feel a bit better knowing that's not the case!

Ain't that the truth. My DH got a soap on the rope from my grandma one year.

Every year until the year she died, my grandmother gave all of her children, their spouses and each and every grandchild underwear for Christmas. It was the big family joke - until the first Christmas after she died and we all realized there were no new undies for Christmas.

The following Christmas, my mother took over and bought everyone underwear.

My Grandma brought my mother underwear her first Christmas with them. They whole family was there and my mother was so embarrassed. The real kicker was the undrwear were the day of the week underwear and my Grandmother made her hold up each one. My poor mom went ther h*ll and back with that women. She wasn't the sweetest lady!

This is funnier than the time my grandmother sent me some bras for my birthday. That weren't even CLOSE to my real size. Now, granted, I am fairly uh..chesty, but the bras she sent me were big enough to go parasailing with!

Ah, but how many of you got a wedding gift wrapped in tin foil? I did. DH's family got us some contraption from the Finger Hut Catalogue and wrapped it in Reynold's Wrap.

on first glance I swear i thought that said contraception!!! Contraception from the Fingerhut catalog

New socks and underpants are a tradition for christmas in my family. Dh thought it was kinda wierd at first but now he likes it. He absolutely refuses to buy any for me though. It would be a bad, bad thing for him to bring home giant cotton granny panties in a size 12. He thought panties were the same as your pants size

My grandparents always bought underwear for my mom & dad for Christmas. By the HUGE boxful. A year's supply. They loved it and when Granny died they really missed their 'Christmas underwear"

My MIL bought me undies once. Then she went on to say that she didn't know they made colored panties in such large sizes I had my DH tell her thanks, but don't do it again.

Well, if you're buying for RickinNYC, we know the answer to that...

My Mother who is 78 years old bought me a pretty ornament from a lingerie store I am known to frequent to hang on the tree. It was a red globe with "La Senza" on it and a red satin loop. She thought it was perfect because I shop there all the time.

The funny thing is that when I opened the gift I realized that the globe opens up like those Leggs containers years ago. That come with nylons in them.

I opened it up and discovered, surrounded by the rest of our family, that my Mother had given me a red g-string with fluffy feathers on the... ummmm... front part.

We all refer to it now as ~ The Christmas of the Festive Red Stripper Thong.
