Too Much Fabric Softener

Too Much Fabric Softener belongs to the following groups:

We were just standing at the front of the restaurant waiting to be seated when I heard my mother’s quiet gasp. Puzzled, I turned to see her turning crimson and thought she was falling ill.

But then they caught my attention. Soft, light pink, delicate. Most importantly, they were on the floor.

Perhaps because she’d lost some weight or because her “perfectly good” ones elastic finally had gone too loose, we’ll never know.

With the elegance of a ballerina, my mother gracefully stepped out of the panties that had fallen around her ankles. Just before she turned to leave, Mom smiled sweetly at the horrified hostess, “Too much fabric softener.”

Glad you got a giggle out of it! It was based on a true (but not personal) experience of a lady I once knew.

i love this! what grace and aplomb your mother must have :)
Karirose replied

So glad you liked it! It wasn’t my mother, although, she would have handled it quite gracefully as well. :)
And this is mostly fiction—except for the panties falling to the floor. In the non-fiction version, she was wearing panties that buttoned (pre-elastic?) and the button popped and panties plopped! :)
