Stolen Shoes and No Pants
My youngest daughter gets home last night and informs me someone stole her shoes from the party she was at. Party, get together, whatever. Her shoes are gone, natta, no more. AND she's wearing someone else's pants. And this is how the conversation goes.......
Samantha: "Mom someone stole my shoes at A's last night."
Me: "What? Why would someone steal someone else's shoes??"
Samantha: "I don't know but I went to leave A's and my shoes were gone."
Me: "Well that's sucky. I don't understand why someone would want to take someone else's shoes. That is so gross to me."
Samantha: "And I'm wearing L's sister's pants."
Me: "Wow, no shoes and someone else's pants. Boy I remember parties like that back in my day."
Samantha: "What?"
Me: "Nothing. Why are you wearing L's sisters pants?"
Samantha: "Because we had a water fight today and my pants weren't dry by the time I had to go home so L's mom told me to just put L's sister's pants on."
Me: "Nice mom."
Samantha: "Ya she's ok. And A's mom was so upset because someone stole my shoes. I think she was really embarrassed it could happen in her home. But I told her it was ok. But I'm not really ok with it because I really REALLY liked those shoes and I'm kind of mad about it."
Me: "Well who knows. Maybe someone put them on by mistake and they'll bring them back. Christ it can't be a girl who took them because most girls have such small feet. Not like your big size 8/12-9's."
Samantha: "Well a GUY isn't going to take them and wear them. They're GIRL'S shoes."
Me: "Ya, but maybe he's gay and just came out of the closet and it was your fancy cool shoes that did it."
Samantha: "Mom can't you be serious for two minutes?"
Me: "No I don't think so."
Samantha: "Well personally. I hope who ever took them wears them and I hope they wear them in barefeet."
Me: "Ewww why would you hope they wear them in barefeet?"
Samantha: "Because you know the Athlete's Foot I get all the time? Well I hope they get it and their feet itch and burn and drive them crazy. That'll teach them for taking my shoes."
Me: "Yes it will. And then all you have to do is look for a gay young man scratching his feet and you will have solved the case."
Samantha: "You're not funny you know."
Me: "I'm kind of funny."
Some people don't appreciate good humor.
I think you are funny.

My husband and I picked up my foster daughter one day from a party and she was wearing someone else's pants! I cannot recall the exact story, I think she started in a skirt, and it got cold... but the really crazy part is that she did not know whose pants they were... so we have no idea what that girl wore home! very scarey!

I thought your comments were funny!!
Your daughters response sort of made me think of a person putting Exlax in the chocolate brownies and taking them to work in a container to catch the person stealing food from the fridge.

Do I dare see if another comment goes through?? Sirdar that's hilarious, I've never heard of that with the brownies. I'd like to do that just with the family. I know. I won't. But the evil side of me sure thinks it would be funny.

You are super funny and the exlax thing works, My Gram always used to have food on her desk to share but this one guy-she knew who-always gobbled it up. So one day she made cookies with exlax, and warned her coworkers to stay away. That guy never ate food from her desk again! LOL
