holy moly.

 

Yes, those are a pair of my hubs boxer briefs..

and yes, that is a very large hole in the butt..

I  immediately noticed the gaping hole when I pulled them out of the dryer...

I laughed so hard I almost peed myself.

I just didn't understand how in the world that could happen.

That pair was fairly new,

so they weren't just "worn out"

and I know fabric can spontaneously rip...
 but when clothes rip,

it's usually along a seam...

that hole was not along a seam.

(plus, I've never even heard of underwear ripping...I mean, they're stretchy.)

If they had been old, 

or if it had been along a seam,

I wouldn't have been (or be) so confused;

and I definitely wouldn't have laughed like I did.

So in my laughing, confused state,

I held the boxerbriefs,

stuck my hand through the hole,

and pondered on how it got there.

I came up with the following possibilities:

1. Underwear just aren't made like they used to be.

2. It's the new fad...jeans have holes, so why not underwear? 

3. The sonic boom I woke up to a few mornings ago was, in fact, not a sonic boom.

4. He is slowly going commando.

5.  They were laying in the bathroom floor when BayLee came along and discovered a tasty morsel in that particular vicinity.

6. Too much Taco Bell hot sauce.
7. Convenience? 
8. Ventilation?
9. He wears these "holy" underwear on Sundays?

I would bet most of my money on #5...
but all of them are very possible.
Moral of the story is:
 I had no idea it was possible to have a hole that large in the butt of your undies.
My husband teaches me something new every day.
