Oddity
Perhaps some other mom has run into something similar... because I am completely fucking baffled.
Whilst doing the dreaded hated all consuming chore of laundry today, I found my son's dirty undies in the pile. Nothing odd there. What is strange, and somewhat disturbing is how I found them. Not with the tell tale "I'm all boy" shit stripes racing thru the crack... but there were three pairs stuffed one inside the other. In other words, he is wearing triple play drawers.
It's truly a "What the fuck?!" moment for me. Why, baby, why do you need to wear your Yu-gi-oh undies, stuffed in your Scooby panties, all over the top of the classic tighty whities? A few weeks ago, I found two pair together, and I dismissed it. I off handily asked him then about it, and got a shrug, and an "I don't know," Now he is wearing three at a time...
Little boys are weird as shit. There can be no other explanation for it. At least it puts to rest the mystery of why he has no underwear in his dresser each day- when his sister still has gobs left in hers. I will ask him again tomorrow... odds are I will get some lame ass dismissal of my concerns.
I am thinking it is some phase... spurred on by something said at school by one of the idiot children he attends class with. Three pairs of drawers though? What the fuck is happening during those lunch room discussions that makes him want to bulk up his pants? Most guys use socks! Maybe I should tell him that... Good info to have at the tender age of 7, don't you think?

Glad I raised all Girls !!!! I haven't fucking clue on this one.. You're on your own Mom... Maybe he's heard one too many times about wearing clean underwear in case of an accident...
Love you,
Dad

Gosh, I don't remember, do boys start having erections at 7? Maybe it's "moving" out of control & he doesn't like that? You're right. Little boys are puzzling.
Where the hell are you???

My three year old has a habit of not pulling his underwear all the way up in back. Up and covering everything in front, but stretched waaaay down in back to his thighs, so he gets these red lines and crap. He says they hurt too, I don't know why he doesn't quit that shit.
