Honey that’s wonderful news! Tell DeeDee she is always welcome and we can’t wait to see you both. We should have some sweet corn by July but plenty of tomatoes and even raspberries. So we’ll be ready for a crowd! I went nuts at Costco on Thurs and got a whole gallon of that bbq sauce and they had very high quality beach towels in nice colors and got four of those PLUS four pairs of UNISEX one-size-fits-all thongs. Daddy and I have been sharing the same old pair of thongs out on the back porch forever! But these are nice and I’ll save them for your guests in case the others decide to come…

Comment of the Day
"My mom was hesitant about my two pugs being called "grandpugs" at first as she is not interested in grandbabies either. Now we have a third pug, and after oh, a year, she loves her grandpugs.... she does IT and teaches technology stuff at an elementary school... the pugs in their Halloween costume (the three amigos) is her desktop background. In one class she had to teach the kids how to set a desktop background, her computer is used to project to the class, and she showed off her grandpugs... that was a proud moment. She said she had the whole class trying to find pug pictures to set as their desktop background."— Kelly

How is a shoe one size fits all?
For a second there I forgot flip-flops were called thongs…
The underwear “thongs” stole the name from the shoes “thongs”. Flip-flops were “thongs” in my house.
OMG. Thank goodness for the comments. I would have continued thinking underwear.
that is TOOOO funny! Flipflops were also only called ‘thongs’ in my house, but it’s still funny.
My mom finally stopped saying thongs instead of flip -flops! I had a particularly awkward shopping experience at the beach with her a few years ago.
I will never forget the first time a 3 year old in my swim lessons class told me she had worn thongs to school….I almost passed out….it’s still funny though!
hahahahahah… nothing like sharing old thongs out on the back porch!
I love how simple it is to be ready for a crowd: corn, tomatoes, raspberries, and that wild and crazy impulse shopping for the gallon of BBQ sauce! This just sounds like a mom ready to party! (And oh, yeah, sharing the old thongs on the back porch cracks me up, too.) But really, doesn’t this sound like a sweet family to bring friends home to?
A teacher friend once told her class of 5th graders to make sure they wore thongs on the field trip to the beach. They quickly corrected her: Flip-flops! Flip-flops!
I had already laughed out loud before realizing that thongs meant flip-flops.
either the mom has a really big foot or the dad has a really small foot. hahaha… moms love costco…
OMG, when I hear “thongs” I don’t think footwear, so this was just KILLING me!
I totally agree with Kelly… where are these magic shoes?
Hey, if the sand is too hot, you’ll wear anything to keep your feet from cooking, even Dad’s gnarly old thongs.
Some people get thongs confuse with tongs used to flip things on the barbeque. Imagine the difference one letter makes!
What’s funny is that my mother reminded me about the other thongs after I read this and laughed my behind off! That was great!
We finally broke my mother of saying “thongs” after we were on vacation and she yelled to me, “go check and see if your brother’s thongs are in the car.”
We figured it out, but both my brother and I were traumatized for the rest of the weekend.
I was once told my a supervisor not to wear “thongs” to work because they weren’t professional. Boy, was I glad when I figured out she meant my shoes and not my underwear!
Too darn funny! Recently I asked my sons (ages 16 and 12) has anyone seen my Thongs?…they turned around and loked at me and promptly told me that was DISGUSTING!!! At first I was perplexed..then realized that these tech-age boys didnt have a clue what I was talking about…giggling to myself..I said” Never mind I’ll just ask Dad he was probably the last to see them!’…oh you can imagine the looks I got then!! I just couldnt resist messing with them like that!! I finally explained to them what the true meaning of thongs were before they started a petition to send me away…wait what was I thinking? I should have left it at that!! ROTFL!!!
Loved this “thong” story!! TFS!
Oh man, that’s awesome. Where I live, “thongs” are Jandals and thongs are..well..thongs. It took me a while to understand hahaha
Wow, I am glad someone clarified the thong part. I knew they are flip-flops too, but for some reason I didn’t think they were talking about that.
We had the same thong/flip-flop name problem about the time I graduated from high school. The principal was making an announcement about graduation attire and says, “Thongs will not be allowed, and we will be checking!” You can imagine how that went over with the student body…
I have never heard of flip flops being called thongs. I am actually crying over this because I keep visualising underwear…but I am also laughing at the post about the mom asking her sons if they had seen her thongs!! Priceless!
I’m still laughing!!! That is just too funny.
