Lesson for today

It seems, dear readers that my two years spent "serving my community" as an AmeriCorps member for Habicrap may have been all in vain. Apparently what I should have been doing was touring the country, leading seminars on a particular subject. A subject more near and dear to my heart than ever before.

I should have been out there, teaching the masses on a particular threat that is contaminating our country at its very core...

Mistaking "granny panties" as any panty that is NOT a thong.

I will apologize now to the choir, but for the rest of you, it is time that you learned the difference.

I have chosen a couple of links to help provide the visuals needed.

So click here and here.

But the most important lesson is that JUST BECAUSE IT'S NOT A THONG, DOES NOT MEAN IT IS A GRANNY PANTY. "Granny panties" or briefs, by definition (thank you Wiki) are big, shapeless and usually worn during "that time of the month". Thongs are small and usually uncomfortable; but also serve a purpose. Then there are hi-cuts, boy-shorts (still don't get), v-strings and/or g-strings, and other varieties therein.

It is a known fact that men are not into details. Panties are apparently one or the other - which is just not true. And I think it is up to us women to correct them. Starting with our sons. It is not unheard of to teach your own child these things. I mean, show them the websites if you can't bring yourself to tell them. Or do your own research.

Then we must hit up the elementary schools. Start with 2nd graders. Use visual aides. Whatever is necessary to get this message across. It's vitally important people. Trust me.

Okay - I'm good. And disclaimer: this lesson is in no way a product of anything going on in my personal life. I repeat, no way. Ahem.
