Unmentionables
At my mother's birthday party:
Sister-In-Law 1: Did you read about the Importance of Wearing Underwear? That email I sent?
SIL1's mom: Oh yes, that gave me a good chuckle.
Mother: No, I don't think so. What was it about?
SIL1: Maybe I didn't send it to you. Someone else will have to tell it as I am conveniently going to do something far over there.
Mother looks at SIL2.
SIL2 blinks.
Mother looks at Brother 2.
Brother 2 blinks.
Mother looks at Valette.
Valette blinks and clears throat.
SIL1's mom tells the story rather tactfully, using fewer nouns that previously thought possible.
SIL2 and Valette sigh in unison, grateful to have not offended Mother's delicate sensibilities.
SIL1's mom: See, clean jokes can be funny too.
Brother 2: Wow. And you didn't even say the word 'GONADS.'
