Panties

I think 'panties' is a funny word. Not the immature funny, I just think it sounds funny. It's like fuchsia, a completely unrelated, but funny sounding word.

Today my friend, Nanny, brought the twins she Nannies to church with her. After church we were standing in the foyer talking while one of the girls was playing with the excessive flounce I happen to have on my floor-length skirt. Out of nowhere this darling of a child cautioned me: "Don't show your panties! There are boys around!"

"Yes, dear, you're right. There are boys around, and no, I won't show my panties!" I replied, turning a lovely shade of pink.
