Teenage boys and lacy knickers

Ben’s mum and partner left this morning which was sadย as we all had a great timeย last week and enjoyed their visit very much. Elizabeth in particular was very upset and even a bit teary as they departed. Then Ben left for Cambridgeย soย I decided to take the kids to the movies to lift their spirits. We hardly ever go to the cinema. I can’t even remember when I last took them but they really enjoy it and most children’s films are moderately entertaining for adults too. We saw Minions which was mildly amusing.

Before the movie I ducked into Next to get some new undies for myself. I got three pairs and took them to the counter where I was served by a teenage boy. He got a bit flustered and asked meย twice whether I wanted a bag and both times I said, “No”. Then he put the undies in a bag anyway. I also said I didn’t want the hangers but this requestย seemed to drift over his head asย he proceeded to give thoseย to me as well. It was like watching a comedy scene from a movie and was probablyย more entertaining than Minions.ย Oh, the trauma of being a teenage boy and holding a pair of lacy knickers!

    It wasn’t just the fact they were lacy knickers, Rachelโ€”after all he’s in a shop full of them. it was the fact that he was having social intercourse with a woman who was about to wear them. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Having had 4 sisters and spending it seems half my life in Marks & Sparks, I guess I became quite relaxed being in that Dept., but I can appreciate the poor boy’s flusterrings. Of course, it is perhaps a tell tale that there are no photos attached to your post. Maybe we will all blush if you had! x

      Haha, no pics, sorry. But we’re just talking about Next here which isn’t exactly the grungy sex shop selling blush-inducing lingerie.

      I’ll have to check my stats tomorrow to see whether the title generated more clicks than usual ๐Ÿ™‚

    Poor lad. He probably didn’t take the hangers off because it would have taken longer to serve you!

    I’m unable to buy my own knickers for the same reason!

        Having a very accepting girlfriend helps this issue! Knickers cause trauma for young men, even those who wear them.
