As we entered church and sat down, i noticed that the fly on her slacks was unzipped, so i whispered to Bigger Girl to XYZ.
"Thanks, mom," she whispered back, "especially since i ran out of clean underwear and I'm going commando!"
Noting the expression on my face, she added, "And besides, these pants are a bit too big, they feel like they are going to fall off!"
Let's hope not, especially here, i said drily.
"Ya think!?" she asked.
Life continues.
