Extra Undies A Negative Social Effect

The Host asked if anybody has a first day school story. So here is one think I remember.

It is not a sexy story,  but made me the butt of jokes for a while. My mother let me off at the bus stop for the junior high bus. It is crowded with people all waiting. After I got out she rolls down the window and yelled at me "I PUT A EXTRA PAIR OF UNDIES IN YOUR BAG JUST IN CASE."

This was a sobering event that followed a conversation she and I had a few days before when she asks me, If I put the same briefs on after PE, or put on some clean ones. It's one of those convos you deeply regret, even though it seemed innocent enough when talking to your Mom. How could we ever suspect Mom would betray us and cash-out our street cred account to zero dollars and incredible abuse from class-mates would ensue. Mom is the most trusted person in our life all through child-hood, but like we see in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series, they are the most oblivious to cool factor, nor are they conditioned with defense against teen wise-cracks.  

 Obviously, everybody heard her. They laugh like hell. At school people ask if I got my clean undies on then laugh their ass off. I was the butt of jokes for at least a couple of weeks until someone else's Mom screwed their life up.
